lssah2025 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Does anyone have, or have access to a lubrication chart for a Humber Scout? Looking for the correct fluids etc. for mine or a copy of the chart if feasible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great War truck Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 So how many Humber Scout cars survive, and where did you get yours from? Tim (too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lssah2025 Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 (edited) From the research that has been done from a UK armoured car group, there are about 18 or so that have been accounted for. Most of the ones are in museums (in different states of condition) the ones that get out the most from museums and are running are the one from Jersey Isles and the Dutch Calvary Museum, there are 4 or 5 in private hands unrestored and mine that is restored. I purchased mine out of Holland. Below are the locations and owners, I have only put their initials down, due to respecting their privacy. Location/Number/Humber MKI or II/Current Unit markings Muzeum Wojska Polskiego, Warsaw F198389 I Polish 2nd Armd Regt Tank Museum, Bovington F196345 I Guards Armd Div Cavalry Museum, The Netherlands I Cavalry Museum, The Netherlands II Jersey I Guards Armd Div Brussels Museum Holland F199036 II Guards Armd Div MH I Unrestored wreck MH II Unrestored wreck X- Budge Collection F196184 I 11th Armoured F195771 Inns of Court DL Unrestored wreck CH I Unrestored wreck F198307 II 44th RTR 4th Armoured Brigade (mine) still marked as West Riding..

Great War truck Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Fourteen! Well that makes it virtually common then! It certainly looks a lot roomier than than the Dingo. I presume that the Stuarts in the background were the ex Brazilian ones that were still in the UK when you bought it? Tim (too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 It certainly looks a lot roomier than the Dingo. Not as nice to drive as a Dingo though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lssah2025 Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 That is true, Dingo's are nice, hence the selling of my 42 Ford, found a Dingo and now just need more funds to get it.... The Stuart in the background was one that came out of Brazil. If anyone is interested I just found out several days ago that another Humber Scout is on the market, 32K Euro and needs a complete restoration, comes with a spare engine, transmission and some electrical components and the ultra uber rare PLM mount, which I am missing :-(....

Runflat Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 That'll be the one mentioned here: http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?t=14303 Out of interest, which was the 'other forum' that was able to provide the data plate?

lssah2025 Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 What I received is the lube chart (which was paper) and went on a wooden board that was kept in the left hand side bin. I know there was a data plate on the drivers side wall, possibly engine/lube info, but I don't know. Yes I do know that some Humbers didn't have the PLM mount, problem is, I want the bloody mount :argh:, and it is rare as Alien poop....haha. I might even put a M2HB on it, I love this pic.... 44th RTR, 4th Armoured Brigade, Normandy.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Elsdon Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Thats the same vehicle that Michael Caine playing an Irish guards officer in the Film "A Bridge Too Far" is commanding his troops from, i thought it was a Dingo, then realised it is bigger and not so square looking. Nice looking machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lssah2025 Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) Yes that is the one, I had a hard time trying to decide if I was going to mark it up Guards Armoured or 4th Armoured, maybe I will switch back and forth so I can yell" Start the purple, start the purple!"
