Oh most learned ones, I'm not sure what vehicle belongs under this generator. If I know what it was for, I would be happy to get it out of the pile. It is Lucas and here ae the numbers 2225IE 10 48 C39PV L O 6V ----------> It has the Y in a O ( a hallmark I guess?) on the first line. I don't think it was ever supposed to be a T Type and there is no Tach drive on the rear plate. Thanks for the help, sherwood

C39PV L O dynamos were used on many smaller British car and commercial vehicles between 1945 and about 1954. The 6V would indicate a 6 volt dynamo. The only popular post war cars with 6 volt electrics I can think of are the "sit up and beg" Fords, so I would guess it came from a Ford Popular, Anglia or Prefect 1939-1954. If anyone out there admits to owning a Ford "Pop" perhaps they could confirm - send your confession anonymously! Regards Cliff
