1942 Humber Armoured Car MK IV

5 Attachment(s)

True barn find, one owner for 35 years, he bought it from the Portuguese military and then parked it, it is very complete and in a good nick, he started taking it apart a few years ago for a refresh. Ended up getting rid of the Humber Scout Car, since I have always fancied the Humber heavy.....plus it has a turret and goes boom...

Wow, what an incredible find. May be a bit hard to tuck under the Christmas tree.

Good find.
Be wary of the Portugese army's maintenance though. I rebuilt an engine from one of these and they had rebored it in two different bore sizes, three bores of each!

An amazing find Lance, looking forward to seeing the Humber Armoured Car when you have it back on the road.

Richard, I have access to 3 other engines and blocks, so definitely will be doing a complete engine rebuild!
