Nuffield Metal Products

Under the grill on a plate behind the bumper bar was this rusted tag. It seems to say that it is a Nuffield Metal Product

Birmingham England

NMP

Not sure if that is a serial or what underneath. I wonder how many of these plates are left on UK vans, with the rust issues there?

I have taken the radiator out to solve the steering box leak and the harmoic balancer oil leak. Slowly, slowly...

    Hi Mate,
    That is the body number plate, as you say the body was made in a different factory to the chassis's. Made by Nuffield Metal Products a sub company of Morris. This is the only place you will see this number. Over here it was never quoted on any paperwork. It was not even quoted on the early brass vehicle plate and that had plenty of numbers (engine,chassis,front axle,rear axle etc. What few of these number I have collected do not follow any logic, they are not in line with chassis numbers.

    Hi JB VanMan and Mr Magpie -

    Is the number on the NMP plate the same as the "Car" number on the main ID plate on the inside of the van by the radiator cap? Bugly's NMP has rusted beyond recognition, but I'll leave the remnants there!

    Cheers - Bugly

    If any J type owners are interested we have just made an NMP plate and the strip which goes below it for a J type owner. Originally they are in one piece but we have made them separately as w could not retool the entire plate. Like the Minor NMP plate the J type ones often rotted.
