Mine was RYF 44Y, it was an AA/BRS van fitted with 12/24v jump starting and we carried stuff for hgv's, susies, 24v bulbs and the like. It made a difference from fixing Morris Marinas and 1100's :lol: All AA vans had Y- endings YE YF YY etc.

Your van would have been released from the main workshops in Basingstoke. Where is it now as I think that it would have been a London patrol force van.
