Vehicle Histories

These vehicle histories do not pretend to be complete: I cannot record what never reaches me. LOTS has provided much of the data, and other stuff has come from pictures on the internet ($), although dates here have to be treated with suspicion in some cases (dates can be the picture scan date or rip-off date, for instance). But thanks to those who do accurately date their internet pictures!
