Humber FV1600 - ARN 105-819 - Restoration moves forward.

At least Tim V at Winton still has lots of spares for the B60 engines. They were fitted to Daimler Ferrets.

Sounds promising and I wonder if he would post to UK, if there is an item that is obsolete over here, but he has in stock?

Good to know

Worthwhile asking at least: http://www.timvibert.com.au/

you probably already know about Marcus Glenn in the UK http://www.marcusglenn.com/ they are both specialists in Armoured vehicles, but given they also used the common B series engines of the Champs, Ferret, Humber and Saracen/Saladin they still have quantities of difficult to find bits.

Yes of course there is Marcus Glenn, but always nice to know of others for retail therapy and cost comparisons.

Thanks

Maybe Dave will have enough Cab parts and running gear left over to make one of these.

What a beast Rich, if I found that I would leave it the way it is. A sensational looking vehicle, however, something I would not do to a Humber even if I had the bits and pieces.

I followed the link & the question was asked "Anyone know where this is now?"

It survives!

I saw it about 2 years ago it has received a replacement body from a Humber with a rotten chassis. I've got some pictures somewhere.

Not many vehicles would survive to have a life beyond that sort of conversion.

Well done Rootes & the new owner!

Thanks Clive, we had a few Humber owners at Champ Camp over the last few days and least one of the UK contingent knew of it. Love to see some more pics if you get around to digging them up. (We had 6 current owners in one spot, with a few ex owners as well, probably an aussie record.)
