That Humber is a "bobby dazzler ". You wonder where a lot of these older restored vehicles end up. The owners age and circumstances change .. family pressures and such. I read somewhere that the UK scene has changed recently , not so many of the regulars from the 1970's turn up to events . The hobby is growing here ...but mostly newcomers .. the older ones are dying off or have health problems and they don't get out . I've noticed here a trend, more restored vehicles being trailered to events , rather than driven.. probably reflects the state of our roads here ,BUSY and hectic , no place for a 40 mph green snail.
