Morris C8 replied to willysmb's question in I may be stupid, but......
This is there web site. http://www.militaryandflyingmachines.org.uk good film at bottom of page and photos from last year. -
Sorry to say there is paint over the tin so we can not make out the make.
-
other side of the Humber, quite a large car & lots of leg room. The photo below was taken in Israel for a film. Had a different number and colour then.

you can spray it, use a small roller & brush it. The paint is at my dads . next time i go there i will let you know. We added thinners as well to spray it. some others in the club used it as well on there vehs.

Hi, We had the paint made up from an original part from a WW2 truck to get a match. WE just went into a DIY store and they mixed it up from a white base paint.

Hi, This is the guys email chipmork@btconnect.com He has about 3 left they were £300 each that what we paid for the one we bought. his number 08450614477. He has most carbs that were made and carb kits. [ We do not work for him or know him]

Well the Humber is running very good, with the eng done + new old stock carb and a Respray, she will last a long time and give much more years of fun. After turning the starting handle for 5 mins to get the petrol & oil though the eng , then at a press of the button she started first time, fine tuned the carb and timeing when she was running. Thanks for to my Dad [85] for all the hard work and some mates help. All we need to do now is run it in, when the Humber was new it would do 80 MPH, but we will keep the speed down.

Hi Jules, This is the one from the 1944 Morris C8 GS manual. Keith. [i miss my morris]

more photos.

At the work shop where we had the eng redone. strip down. We had all new core plugs fitted as one was weeping water, of course that one was on the back of the block, so you would have had to take the engine out to put a new one in as the bulkhead was so close to the engine.
-
At last we got the eng back after a rebuild. New pistons & rings made to order [6]. cylinder head skimmed. Valves reground. bearings redone + camshaft. conrods redone+ other bits done. With a bit of pushing lifting and a lot of help it went in OK just. Next thing to do is get the nuts and bolts that we put in a box and hoses fitted + the new carb fitted.

Hi, there are no motorcycles in the Bordon catalogue but over 500 Bren Carriers and over 150 Jeeps in it. There are over 550 motorcycles in the Kirmington catalogue.

My Dad bought a set of NOS front inside door handles, as we had only one that was broken and one missing. They came in there original box, its taken 2 years to find some. once fitted we can now wind up & down the front windows the engine is now in bits at the workshop that we sent it too.

Tyres and Tank engines, matchetts, 2,000 Oil cans, 400 Driving mirrors. just think what 900 x 16 tyres would cost now , then 5 @ £9. Now up to £200 each. Are there any photos of these veh sales, i have seen some of motor bikes but not many of trucks ect.
-
One more sale catalougue from Bordon April 1947, most of the pages have Jeeps and Bren carries for sale, what other parts of the UK did they sale military vehicles from.
-
I bought this 1947 Auction army vehicle sale catalogue last week and the info on what went for sale just after the war. nice to see the service reg numbers that they had during the war. There are 2,523 vehicles for sale in the catalogue from bikes to bren carriers ect. This catalouge has 79 pages and one Austin 10 Saloon car went for £30. Good for research. Has any one made a list of all the ww2 vehicles sale catalogues. On the bike page there is a Levis motor bike for sale, Levis motor bikes were made from 1911 untill 1940.
