Nice work Dave, you've certainly made some rapid progress. Motor looks fabulous, I'm glad it turned out to be in good nick apart from the blown head gasket. Cheers, Tony.

FV1600 Tray reborn.
Some shots of the humber tray under restoration. Have rebuilt at least 80% of the metal sides and seat boxes and completely rebuilt the Tray chassis. I and am now in the process of preparing for the undercoat and top coat.
Yes, i did toil away in our 45 degree days, served by plenty of ice cold stubbies and a very supportive wife who by the way loves this restoration stuff. The first photo shows the tray chassis once removed from the vehicle, it made it an easy decision to rebuild instead of repair. Cheers, Dave.

Did you take the plunge and fit electronic ignition to it as well?

Hello Robin I have got electronic ignition fitted to the B60. I purchased it from Jolley Engineering in the UK, I also have my two Austin Champs fitted with the Jolley Electronic ignition and have had no problems at all. Richard Coutts-Smith also has the same electronic ignition fitted to his Humber and has for a long time also without problems.
Certainly moved away from the twin point set up and unreliable condensers ASAP. Do you own a Humber? Dave.

A little more progress with the Humber tub, only need to place the floor decking in and fit and wire up the rear lights. Now ready to remove the cab and start on the running gear and chassis.
Dave.

Well done guys
I have recently updated my thread on an FV1611A having got her running again after a long lay off. It was the most exciting thing I have seen and done in years. Even with a holed downpipe she had that sound of an old classic. I was fortunate to actually get her to move and drive a short distance. It is great to see more of these fine vehicles getting up an running again. Keep up the good work chaps. Now I need to go and measure up some lockers to make new ones from... Where's Clive
