It wasn't from the same cache, it was supposedly from a a different owner, those in the pic were originally owned by Clive, from the info that I have received and investigated over the last few years, but can I say that I am 100% positive, no I can't...
After restoring it for a second time I found a different layer of white (small patch), now was it from the original, who knows. Or was it a test batch of white from the museum when they restored it, who knows!!! I know the museums other car (without the roof) was restored at the same time and has the same color, mirrors etc as mine. In my original pics that I have some appear silver and some white, the early cars appear silver and a few of the MK II's appear white. I wish I had a definitive time frame on what was painted what and when.. Look at Jack in the Box II (HSC MK I) F196345, it appears to have a white interior and went to the museum right after the war. Now I do not think it has been repainted on the inside, maybe someone at the museum can shed some light.

Silver Or White Interior
Hi all - once again into the realm of paint colours. Again with this Humber both colours appear correct. Choose the one you like but mention on the accompanying story board the contentious paint issues. Look at your Humber and see if there is a predominant colour, if there is, go with that. At the end of the day there will always be somebody who will say it is the wrong colour.

Were there any internal photograhs in the Wheel and Tracks articles or alternatively held in the library at Bovington. The difference between white and silver in photographs should be fairly obvious?
I have spoken to armoured cars crew who were instructed to paint their vehicles both externally and internally.

Updated pics, using post war gauges until my original/correct ones are restored, also have the correct speedo to put in. Brand new wiring harness being completed, next the engine will go back in, then exterior paint and finish bolting in the internal bins etc...
