Humber FV1611(A)

[FV1611A]

Sorry for being absent from the site chaps, but I am delighted to state that 13BK33 has come back to life.

I am unawares of how long it is since she has run, but it has been many, possibly many, many years.

It took some time to get her to breath, but after a lot of wheezing, coughing and spluttering she actually turned over and then eventually ran and ticked over nicely.

A true testament to the Rolls Royce engineering and the condition of her electrics.

I must confess that whilst the lockers have perished, inside she is more like a time capsule, preserved from the elements by her armoured cloak.

I even had the windscreen wipers working.

This is a major chapter for me and her restoration, which has now eradicated the 'Will she ever start' question.

I hope the video can be viewed by everyone and a side shot of her stood in the sunshine ticking over.

Upwards and onwards.
