Rich ,The brackets on the side of tub are something to do with the canvas frame or so arent they, carrying pole like things?.
.303 is fairly basic bracket thought it may have been bit more intricate i have a kiwi one similar on NZ landy dash.
im hoping to reveal some markings but someone has been a bit heavy handed with a drill type sanding disc not very effective but enough to butcher things a bit,suspect it may have been rubbed down prior to red paint and maybe just taken any high spots EG markings off only thing i can see is marker pen type quick scrawl 911d written on lhs door may be an auction marking?

Hi John.
No I don't think that was Norm's CMP, he lives up near the Wally Deli in Walliston. I said Kalamunda, but it's Walliston.

Glad that the club info was of help.

John, will be following your project

Regards, Dave

The brackets over the rear passenger wheel where intended for a crowbar,(Took me years to find this out) but I have yet to find any record of them being supplied with one. I use them to carry the flat sections of the canvas framework, as there is no provision to store them with the rest of the frame.
In answer to an earlier question re colour, most of the Humber's I have seen do seem to have been overpainted at some stage with the dull, darker green. Champs had the same fate.
Rich.

Air filter for the tyre inflation pump. Has a little cap on it which is removed so the air line can be fitted. Control for the pump is on the side of the transmission tunnel, do not rev over 1000rpm!

This usually means the photos are too large and need editing to reduce them, I reduce mine by pixels making 700 the largest number.
