Default Humber FV1601A

Phil, Missed out on the Humber at Bellfields Auction. (Thank heavens) and was straight away offered this one up in Tamworth within minuites of the hammer knock-down. Went to Tamworth and snapped it up for a lot less money than Alan paid. It had a funny knock in the engine, so it was even cheaper. Turned out that the tyre compressor was engaged and we didn't know thats that all the knocking was.

id plate reads as follows.
Truck COMMER 4x4 CT 1601A
Chasis No. 6310063
Engine No. 13677

Mileage is 22562 miles and I recon that correct as it seems to be pretty good.
I need a few bits though, Hood bows, winch fairleads, gaiters for all 4 driveshafts etc. WHU?
Regards Rick
