The thing that caught my eye on this F8, was another example of the lenghtened "short box". Every once in a while one pops up and it seems all of them are located in Canada, or recently transported from Canada.
These lenghtened boxes have been discussed on MLU before and I would be interesting to discuss this issue a little further. I don't have any good arguments, but I tend to think they were lenghtened by the Army during ww2 for homeland use and never left the continent; possibly the 8cwt Wireless trucks were converted to GS trucks as a solution for a shortage of jeeps and or 15cwt's on the homeland (?)

p.s. the windscreen on that Humber does look a little odd. or is it just the rubber?
