It's interesting to see the change and how they did it back then, its strange seeing Matlock like that how it used to be when I see it quite often

Great era of JCB history that made them the company they are today ☺️

Can't be 1966 as it's got a E suffix reg plate, E reg was issued from Jan 1967 until the end of July 67.

Didn't the registrations start on the 1st of August?

Why has it got a reg plate on it ???

[@curranpeter4704]

It may be because it was working along public roads putting down sewage and water gas ect lines, In Ireland by right your meant to have a registration plate on a tracked excavator and a tax disc in the windscreen, alot of machines wouldn't have it because it's not heavily enforced,
