Absolutely Dave, I couldn't agree more. I've become quite a fan of the Humber through you, and given their extreme rarity in Australia I'm pleased to have been involved in some small way in saving one. I imagine very few of the 130 will survive for posterity, largely because they present an extreme challenge for restorers, in terms of body rust and mechanical complexity. I see them lying around occasionally and they're invariably in bad shape, with no prospects even as a donor vehicle. Hopefully this one at Bookham will find a good home eventually, as it looks to be quite restorable, from a distance at least! Anyway I commend you on your dedication to what is shaping up as extremely high standard resto, and I look forward to seeing it in glorious full gloss DBG!
