Dear Mr Ede
Thank you for your email of 26 November in which you asked for the following information:
I have recently purchased a land rover 110, 1985 with a registration of C328 SFE. The original
number plate was 93 KEEP 18.
Have you the history of this vehicle.
Am looking for the date of the vehicle starting its military service possibly 1968?
and history of the vehicle whilst in the military
A search of our records has been completed but I regret that no information within the scope of
your request is held.
Section 16 of the FOIA requires public authorities to provide advice and assistance to requesters,
so far as it is reasonable to do so. If you have any further requests for similar information, you may
wish to note that the department has undertaken a routine review of the MERLIN archive. The final
version of this has since been released as part of an FOI request, and can be accessed at:

Please note that when the MERLIN database was archived into its current format some data may
have been lost or corrupted. You should, therefore, be cautious that some of the data may be
inaccurate. Details for how to locate and retrieve the service histories for individual vehicles can be
found in the FOI response document in the above link.
Additionally, you may wish to contact the Royal Logistic Corps Museum who may be able to assist
your research. The contact details for the museum are below. You should be advised, however,
that they may make a charge for their services.
