Default Many thanks
Thankyou for the info and those links gentleman - fascinating vehicle: love the roof hatches.
I'll stop and have a look at it one day: only halfa from me - will probably just photograph - I have enough projects to see me out (is there such a thing?)

It was one of 3 Humbers which were sourced from the Lithgow area........
Two were sold on and the one in the photo is retained as a garden monument.

I think its the same one which sat in my works yard for Nine months at South Nowra.
One of the Humbers of the 3 was from the old Dubbo military vehicle museum.
