Hello to all,
We now know the history of TC8204 in the USA, at least until some point in time before 1995.
It's a "home" version, so it is unlikely to have been exported to the USA, although 1949 would suggest this. But, I guess the US market prefered export versions over home versions. The export version with LHD was already on the market for some time.
Maybe a US soldier or official took it with him? But, then, how many US soldiers were still in the UK in 1949, March or later?
So, my question to whoever is knowledgable: how can I find out what happened to TC8204 just after being produced and sold to somebody - likely in the UK. Was it registered in the UK, if so who was it?
Maybe it is possible to build the history up from there up to the point it was exported to the USA.
Thanks for any idea or pointer!
