Hello everyone,
My friend has a Commer Q4 (1941) all original except for the engine. It was fitted with a diesel engine.
He cannot pass it as a vintage vehicle here in Malta.
Can anyone tell me if such old lorries of 1941 (but not with original engine) in UK are passed as vintage trucks?
If you can prove it with paperwork or photos or anything, would be great. As he can have something in hand. 
He will be happy to know. He does not use computer and e-mails.
Thanks a lot everyone for your attention.
Kind Regards

hiya…i think that should be fitted with a petrol engine BUT after the war when hauliers run what ever lorries they could
the Commer would be fitted with a Perkins R6 most likely or a P6.it seems your country is going mad about authentic vehicles.
The P6 would make the lorry a good working vehicle with a diesel engine fitted straight after the war.
hi john
Your right its suppose to have a petrol engine.
But it has a diesel engine, so haulier cannot pass as vintage (no original engine).
He wants to know if in UK trucks without original engine can pass as vintage classic vehicles?
