  5. Well what a surprise to see that old photo, my original Ford Jeep RPH 521 I paid £35 for it in 1967, alas it no longer survives, it was never the same after competing in the UK's first off road rally the Welsh Hillrally in 1971

  14. not only the brush guard, the Rear wings on the garage find are from the 8cwt too, agree its built on a Snipe 8cwt chassis, see pic in link below https://encyclopedie-des-armes.com/index.php/unites-mobiles/vehicules-legers/929-lorry-8-cwt-4-x-2-ffw-humber
  15. It is not a Humber Box 4x4, ...it appears to be a military Humber Snipe 2 wheel drive chassis, with 900x13 tyres, there were military Woody utility estate versions, but this is not a military body, more likely its been rebodied post war with a longer and higher civilian coachbuilt 2 door body, the military Humber utilities were 4 door and used the steel bulhead and windscreen of the Snipe car as show in the photo below
  16. definatly Not underseal, it actually can enhance corrosion by trapping water moisture against the metal

  20. Some dials /guages may be compatible with ones used on other vehicles, doubt if any wiring looms exist
  21. What bits and pieces do you mean? there are very few parts around for military Leyland Hippos,
  22. I have heard so many similar stories over the years, same as the infamous Jeeps still in crates...the stories all turn out to be entirely ficticious
  23. Looks very much like a film prop QL, ...amazed to find a photo on the Internet movie cars database of my old QL used on a French film shot in London in 1970,
  24. The large centre hub cap looks very much like Morris Commercial taxi wheels/axles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_Commercial_Cars#/media/File:1939_Morris_Super-Six_Taxicab.jpg
