Attached is the Cat. info for Exhibit 61.
The Humber was obviously set up to drive fully submerged, must have been tested pretty thoroughly before hand for them to omit the tow rope that was usually fitted to the front tow eyes for these tests. Not sure I would like to buy this one second hand though...
The second prtotype, KYW 98, appears to have been scrapped in the 70's at Jacksons Scrapyard, the number plate was found and purchased at that time, and is now on a Garage wall.
Interestingly, exhibit #65 (for 1956), is still alive and well , and rarer than the Humber.
Rich.
