The seller is "forthenryantiques"
I think we have discussed this seller, their identity and the quality of what they sell in past on this forum in the context of a C8A HUP/HUW/ZL variant. My memory is that opinions varied widely from "wonderful" to "looks good from far but is far from good".

The only way to tell the date on a cab 11 Ford is to look at the serial number that's stamped into the frame under the passenger side door. A 1G prefix is 1940 production and 2G is 1941. They didn't have a data plate with the date on the early trucks as far as I can tell. I wonder where he found the 1939? The cab 12s had the date on a data plate.

I looked at his other items on ebay and it's interesting to note that most of them don't get a single bid.
He says the Humber is in the final stages of restoration but it doesn't look like he's started on it yet. I guess maybe all my acquisitions are in the final stages of restoration too if I use his standards.

it is a late production 11cab. The early ones had no louvres, just a flat panel and the later ones had the louvres. So as has been mentioned it is more likely to be a 1941.

Cliff, my cab 11 F15A has serial number 1G 10495 F on the frame which makes its production date in August 1940 and it has the louvers and Chev rear ends.Isn't 1941 production all cab 12s?

you are probably quite right but production of the 11 cabs did not start till April 1940 according to Greg's Blueprint for Victory book. As for cab 12's they probably did not start production until 1941 but when is the question. One sure thing is though that the pictured vehicle is not 1939 but late production 1940 or early 1941 as it has the air vents in the front panels either side of the grill.
Another way maybe to find out is when did production of 8cwt 4X2's stop? The 8cwt were fazed out in favour of the 15cwt and this date may give a bearing as to age. I also looked at the Humber photos and if that is photos of an almost fully restored vehicle my wheelchair is Ford V8 powered.
