It has taken a day of wading through the red tape to finally get our Humber registered; after 3 years it is a great feeling
![]() Pic #1 - Our Humber upon arrival at Seymour. Towed by the "Mongrel" the challenge begins. Pic #2 - Finally had all the Roadworthy and registration paper work. Pic #3 - The registered vehicle in all its glory. Thank you to all in the MLU community for looking at our rebuild over the last three years and to those who found the time to respond. All that needs to be done is to drive it and enjoy the experience. Dave.

Congratulations Dave. ![]() Gives me plenty of incentive to get into mine. Please keep an ear out for a set of hood bows for me.

Dave,
Fabulous work done in a short time, certainly when looking at the amount of work that had to be done. ![]() Thanks for sharing the restoration with us. Hanno

Thank you for your comments, we are very pleased with our Humber and will enjoy many happy trips in her. Am currently fitting the tray floor, am using " Grey spotted gum" as the timber planking a great Australian hardwood. Am having trouble sourcing the steel loading strips which run down each join.
Thanks again, Dave.

Timber floor with winch access panel in place as well as canvas bow structure fitted ready for the canvas. The bows are set at the lower height so that I can get the beast down our drive. we believe it looks nicer on the lowered height. Still trying to source the skid strips for the floor; they sit over each join.
Dave.
