another Aussie humber fv1601

[Dave Mills]

Thanks Richard, ours is truly rust free and unless another one has been broken down to the bare chassis, acid dipped and carefully rebuilt I will say that ours is the only truly rust free Humber and I would challenge any claimant for the crown.😆

John, will post the parts hopefully tomorrow and pm you the overall cost

I adore the Humber with its shape and grunt but am amazed at how easily they rust far to many nooks and crannies for dirt and water to collect.

Cheers,

Dave

Rich there are 4 that i know of ,mine,10th light horse one,red one and Rob Sextons here in the west,possibly another couple unknowns

Have recently purchased an original R.E.M.E. workshop manual ex UK,its dated 1966 and covers the fv1600 and pig.Loose leaf and an old style ring bound type,which does not line up with modern binders,but my lovely wife sorted it out now looks good.
Covers nearly everything i need to know and with plenty of pics it shows what is missing off mine EG the reinforcing behind the spare wheell on the inside back panel (looks to have been welded a few times then discarded the last time it broke!),and the compressor,plus the D rings on front bumper,nothing major and nothing that really detracts from its looks.

John, impossible to do with out!
Also just as handy is the spare parts manual. Particularly as most of your parts are numbered, you can find out where the mystery parts belong, how many you should have, and even what holds them in place.

hi Dave,Rich,unless you have already spotted this,there is a guy on gumtree in port Lincoln SA looking for IFO which i presume is info and service books for a fv1600.
i have given him some basic (where to) info re manuals etc,he replied with a heap of pics that didnt work but i think they are pics on his other ad anyway. Thought he may have come back with a barrage of questions but just got ok thanks.
if anyone is interested they might get some more out of him,at very least may get chassis numbers of at least another one that still survives,photo of tub brass plate indicates nos of cb61101 (i think) which if like mine matches ch no its one of the higher numbered ones.
Bridge plate has an E.R. Elizabeth Regina ? sticker on it?
lLook up" wanted: ifo wanted "or" wanted service books" name of Troy.
Cheers John
