No worries Dave, I'm very happy to see this vehicle find such a good home. I never knew anything about Humbers but I've learned a lot through this exercise and really come to appreciate them. They not only look great but it seems to me they have quite a pedigree going back to WW2. Australian Army service makes it all the more interesting and important to preserve. It's been very satisfying to play a part in saving such a rarity from the scrappy and see it receive some much needed TLC! Having seen your work on the Champ it could not be in better hands and I'm looking forward to seeing it in glorious DBG one day.
It occurs to me there's a fine line between death and glory - had the interfering neighbour not notified us of this vehicle, it would have been unceremoniously crushed and on it's way to China by now. I reckon that fine line is captured in the video!
