Humber Pig Mk1

Sold at Ruddington 15/12/68 Sale No.94 Lot No.1337 for £60

Somewhere I have picture of it in MacGreggors yard circa 1985. The only in service pictures I have seen of pigs in Cyprus are just sand/stone in colour. I have seen straight from Cyprus Salidins in stone & green, but not a pig. They may have been multi-coloured but bear in mind owners do like to make there vehicles stripy at the slightest excuse. If this was an in-service camo scheme, the darker bits would be more focussed on the corners of the vehicle.

The front wings may not be original as I can see no evidence of front lockers & also look at the asymmetry of the side lights.

Given the part of the world you are in, I suspect I know who owns this pig. He has had a couple that I know of, so I'll e-mail him & find out if it is his & if it is for sale.

Don't worry about the FV1621 Missile Supply Truck, as Richard says that was a soft skinned Humber. The parts list ammendments relate mainly to that plus other things that were forgotten from the original IPC such as speedo cable etc
