I thought the £11-13k estimate is quite conservative for the Humber.

The Humber is a Made up Staff car, the larger 900x13 tyres have been added to a civilian Humber Imperial

The manifold heat control Is correctly set in the Summer Position

A common problem of vehicles dying in warm weather, no one ever thinks to check the position of the exhaust manifold hot spot, it probably is set in the Winter position so in summer overheats the inlet manifold and causes vapour locks, they often can be difficult to reset as they seize up in the manifold

This is another style of military Dodge adjustable seat, but think the adjuster is similar, going to be a diificult part to find in the uk, ..you will have to fabricate some brackets to mount the seat in a fixed position as per the first pic

Nice to see the WC42 out, It was a very sad news to read your Fathers Obituary in the MVT magazine, He helped me out a lot with information on my WC11 Panel van I restored some years ago

Duplication, there is already a post about the Crusader and answers

Often Jeeps that underwent full rebuilds by the military were re -stamped with a new chassis number

the chassis number looks to be correct, expand the picture and the number starts GPW, it should be prefixed with a star symbol which is hidden under the wing panel mount

Film prop, not military

Picture RAFP Cyprus 1945

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Geraint

It can't be 1945, the Standard Vanguard was'nt launched untill feb. 1948, the pick up truck was launched later that year but the first cars were for export only, so it would have been a while before the RAF took delivery of Vanguard pick ups so the photo must be sometime from 1950 on

Alas NOS gasket sets are seldom any use anymore, if they got damp then dried out and become brittle and shrink, I have recently thrown away some similar ww2 gasket packs

A jeep tows ok on an A bar, put the transfer lever in the midway, neutral position then its not turning the gear box

Thank you

Yes its ok to tow a gmc,  if flat towing on a rope the brakes will be heavy with no servo assistance

The Sea Fury crashes after engine failure, it was only a few years ago it was  badly damaged following another engine failure crash landing
