Hi Murray, its great to see these photos. Nice to see more veterans enjoying a ride as well, and thanks to the great suspension it will have been comfortable, too!
Wow - I want to move to Australia. Your restoration project Humbers are like auction photos taken in the '60s in Britain.
I would love to do some research one day to locate all known survivors or at least to a count - does anyone else know? Clive ?? - (you have come up with some pretty impressive bits of info, like the date my wreck was auctioned off, etc.)
But I have seen photos of more Humbers HERE, on this thread, than all the survivors I know about in the UK.
I guess in Australia they don't seem that rare, because they are as common as a lot of other European machinery, but I think the truth may be that you have 90% of the survivors over there, wheras with things like Ferrets, we have here in the UK about 20 times the number that you have over there.
