Hi Luigi,

When built at the factory, the chassis, axles, gearboxes and engines were all black.

 

regards, Richard

thank you for your quick response

then it is right that makes all the mechanics as black as in the photo, or when they were assigned to the Army re painted all one color?

Sorry if the question is trivial, but I'm Italian and I know some things do not

My car has the chassis number 8531491 ( 1943) ??? which would be the right exterior color ??

Inside the engine compartment was only brown them, I did not find out any original color, only the Italian army green, interior color was silver

I ask for help

I watched an old wheel tracks # 45 "The SOUT HUMBER CAR" looking at a picture the final assembly line in Coventry mechanical parts (axles, springs, steering arms) are black

Question: mechanical components came from the factory blacks, or were painted the color of the car

Someone can tell me what color to use

thank you Luigi

Do these boxes was difficult:nut:, I was lucky:) to have the originals, unfortunately not recoverable, the rust has cooked the metal, now I have to redo the left box I do not like, does not have the ribbed profile, and the angles are wrong, in part had already been made up by the first owner, but incorrectly, the road still long and dear Lance, these days you start up the engine, runs like a Swiss watch

I still miss little, almost all the pieces are finished, it will be a problem to put it all together and weld it properly, the engineer who designed this car, gave away all his fantastic imagination

:nut:

A few more adjustments then, all welds

Another Humber saved!

:goodidea:Guys are surprised, only people with a will of steel can start with a project so difficult

you have all my respect and esteem

I hope I have spelled it right and no mistakes were made

greetings from Italy:wave:

when we hapless citizens, oppressed by the ECB in Frankfurt and a counterfeit currency such as the euro, overthrow the table will always be too

Un italiano stanco:mad:

Soon, I'll have to make a fire of the welder and weld to the days of all that iron

:nut:

I would like to bring the humber in Holland, and has always been my dream to cross the three bridges

I hope to finish it in time the HSC, because I have a project: Bringing the Humber, the universal carrier that you saw in the photos, and a CMP Chevrolet C15 cab 11 - 4X2 hope ....

I also have the appointment of Normandy next year. We'll see!

If the Europe and Italy will fail there before, with this euro ****..... HO! sorry for the bad word

you can say??:-X

thanks Lance

I like you a great help, I look forward to hear from you

This week I resume work on the Humber

I allowed myself a holiday in Sicily "Operation Husky" always with military vehicles

The work never fails

Joe in a little while I will pass on the mechanical part is sure surprises will come out

Sure I'll need the engine gasket (cylinder head, intake and exhaust manifolds) for the transmission I hope to be lucky, the HSC has not walked a lot ...... HOPE good

Any help or questions on your restoration feel free to ask or email me I have done 85% the work on Lance HSC and am completing it this month. Also lance I know the gauges are tilted in the dash I will be fixing that once it is all buttoned up and running correctly. jdc3 at crabtreeusa dot com.

Thanks joe for offering help, and you'll see I'm gonna ask information secure and will not be long

Lence thanks for your help ready with your help I can complete the dashboard

Good job I congratulate you if I can help and always a pleasure

HELP

Desperately seeking the water temperature gauge, and one for the oil pressure Smith, and the switch CAV type 47/29, in Italy until recently, it was everything. unfortunately today no longer have thrown everything in the foundry

Can someone help me to find anything?

If it was very hard to find original, can you tell me if there is one that replicates them

I hope to finish it by the 70th of market garden, then I retire, I do not touch a more Tezzo iron and drink tea with a book to read

Thank you in advance

Also this weekend I was able to attack some other piece of steel, the floor and almost done, then I'm redoing the bathroom;):-D

To finish soon a car, it is important to make it a piece at a time and all times

Complicated machine, I'm going crazy in reconstructing the missing parts, not a single angle of 90 °, and an ongoing challenge

Does anyone have a period film or today as he walks this machine, I got tired of always seeing what's in the film A Bridge Too Far , I'd be grateful if someone put him online

I also like to know the impressions to drive this car, someone has done it

thank you

Lence Thanks, as always punctual and precise in his answers

In the two bodies there no hole for the switch 2 speed for the dynamo, much better than a less problem of this way the end

Who could help me understand how this thing works mechanically?? (two speed control box), I also try a photo of this particular, you can see in the manual first edition of 1946, that behind the air filter there is a switch, what is not mentioned, also in my humber the hole for this disconnector there Help me understand

thanks to all

Hi Tobin, i recently priced up a 40ft container with 3 vehicles inside to go to Palermo Sicily, our plan was then to drive back to UK. The price for a container from UK to Sicily was about £1500 inc VAT but excluding local handling fees in Sicily. the company was VM Liner, they were very helpful.

I also had quotes from Seakargo for RORO vessels from UK to Southern Italy, that worked out at about £600 per vehicle.

 

Hope that helps
