Default Humber Fv

Clive,
thanks for the weights. Should be able to sneak one home on a good trailer. Once heard the Humber described as a 3ton truck built to carry a 1/4 ton, but was not sure how close to the mark it was.
Tom, those pictures are frightening, we may have some rust problems right on the coast but I tend to think of rust as that brown dust you rub off before you start painting.
By the way, is the drive layout coventional 4x4, (motor, G'box,transfer case, splitting to front and back diffs)or is it like the Champ (Motor, G'box,Back diff/transfer, front diff)? For that matter do they have 2 speed transfer case, or just a low first?
Love the positioning of the winch... when you get stuck you can winch out, but the reason you got stuck was the winch dragging on the ground. Does the winch pull from the front, or just from the back..can' remember seeing any fairleads at either end??
Hooroo
Rich.
