I thought you'd like that Rich, I didn't ask if there was a FV number on it somewhere. Usual story though I think once he made it, a genuine one turned up.

Welding up a Pig is one thing but this restoration is out my league. He re-manufactured the rear body which is superb. It is a nice NOS canvas I know as I sold it to him last year.

I have watched this Humber for many years. For much of that time it was fitted incorrectly with a FV1604 body. He re-manufactured the rear body which is superb. In fact about 15 years ago it was owned by an Australian chap (Andrew Kemp) who was going to drive back home. Clearly the Humber never made it but I assume Andrew did as I've not heard of him since then.

Yes I remember his answering machine went something like "G'day I can't take your call at the moment, I'm out the back feeding a dead dog to the kangaroo"
