  1. Thanks ferret1958, photo of Humber near Arnhem taken on the race to the bridge in 2008 this year we just about got back 2010, needed a lot of water to drink and the oil pressure was down. She has been in a few films. The US army [landlease] used some pre war [split screen] humbers and wartime Humbers as staff cars. This car was taken by the British goverment at the start of the war and given back in 1946 to the owner. It was Blue during the war, that was its original colour when new in 1938. painted green in the 1970s for film work . There is a lot of history with this car .
  2. This is the new old stock carb D.B.V.A. 42 to fit our Humber, think it is a ww2 carb. Still in its box.

  23. Thanks mike for the info, his date of birth was 15.8.1915. I have one other Polish paybook and his army number is 73640/242/I , but on the photo in his pay book it is 73640AP he enlisted in Paris on 29/11/44, i wonder what he did before the 29 Nov 1944.
