Humber FV1600 - ARN 105-819 - Restoration moves forward.

[Dave Mills]

The weekend went well, a couple of helpers, a forklift and the tub was fitted. Took all of 30 minutes.

The tub fitted like a glove, a few adjustments to the suspension heights on the vehicle and a short but very good road test. It felt so good to be able to drive it on the road.

After 3 years of restoration it is pleasing to see such a rare vehicle back on the road.

Problems along the way, the tail pipe hitting the mudflap, front torsion bars required adjusting (Was waiting for the weight of the tub before adjusting so no real surprise here) a small water leak from the radiator blow off valve and the rear winch control lever fitted upside down not bad considering we have completed a ground up restoration. The Rolls 6cyl purrs beautifully at 75Kph at 3500revs.

Dave.
