Default Humber parts from Australia

Hi.
Hello Clive, it was good to meet you in July at Beltring. I am still impressed by the original registration number you managed to get on your Pig! Last week I visited Bovington Tank Museum and saw their Hornet - the first I have seen in the flesh and a very impresive machine.
Anyway - I have been in touch by e-mail with John Parker, the seller of the ebay Humber near Sydney in Oz. A really nice guy who knows his stuff - has trucks going back to pre-1920 and has in the past sold 130 brand-new Humber dashboard units, some of them shipped back to UK.
He is very approachable and I have his e-mail address if anyone wants to ask about specific bits.
Interestingly he mentioned a bloke called Russel Altman in Victoria who apparently breaks up Humbers for parts - he has promised to forward contact details if he can find them. Maybe someone on this site knows him?
Regards,
Tom
