For those overseas from OZ, we call our trailers Humber Trailers as thats what they were to be towed by. Most here were built by Corio Air Engineers P/L of Belmont Vic. near Geelong. The square guards are an Auzzie thing. A cheap replacement for the lovely curved lines of the pommie ones. My trailer has the holes for the curved guards but has the Auzzie square ones.

Ryan, you have been casting your net widely.
Did see this, but am assuming that Tim will have more copies available when I finally get a Humber.

Default Interesting 1951 US press release for Humber and photo

This is on ebay.co.uk right now - Item number: 350043964384 -

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=350043964384

Seems to be some kind of press release or brief news article on the prototype Humber truck for the USA, dated April 1951 - also includes a photo of what looks to be an FV1604 radio truck with the body chopped, sitting in a scrapyard in the 1960s or 1970s. The item is in USA but they will ship anywhere -
The picture below has most of the info anyway, but I would love to know where the photo was taken and when.
I was tempted, but I reckon I might be able to buy a missing piece for my old truck for the same price...

Default What is secondary suspension?

In the picture just posted, reading the caption it mentions secondary suspension, wonder what is secondary suspensions?

Could it be springs in the seat cushions or something more exotic?
