G'day everybody, I'm new to the site - (I'm a CMP, M3A1 and Willys MB owner). However I've always had a fascination with FV1600s. As a kid, on holidays, we went to Sussex Inlet about two hours drive south of Sydney where two Humbers were parked alongside a petrol station. From memory (I was about five and this was about 1970 mind you) my Dad said they belonged to the PMG for telephone repair work in the bush. i don't remember whether they were operational or just dumped there, but Dad called them -"Humber Radio Trucks".
Years later, when I was in the cadets, the Air Training Corps, a kid who was also in the ATC bought one and was learning to get his driver's licence on it!
I thought it was a hot truck! But I've seen only two or three since.
I've seen very few but I'd love to get hold of one. Here are two questions - How difficult is it to obtain a restored one - and what would one be worth?
