Hi Andrew My own Humber box was also rebuilt in 1955 by Henleys, maybe they did a batch of them. I always thought it a bit of a waste really since mine was sold off in yorkshire 2 years later.. They hardly got their moneys worth from the repair / rebuild. kind regards nick

Hi Jules Mike Kelly who produced the drawings some time ago (was it really 2003?) sent me a copy of them at the time. We were at that time involved with a Chevrolet C8 restoration. Let me know of you need a copy, its an age since I've spoken to Mike but feel sure that he wouldn't mind if it was helping another restorer. They were produced for a Morris commercial 8cwt restoration. kind regards Nick

If I may add something to this pot, I have also been trying to decode some medical classifications. I came across this desription but what does it mean? where was it? 'Trans to D1: List. Pen Bullet wounds chest. No47 British (NWE) FFL D Station' This came from a RAC wound card. regards Nick

Hi All I have been trying to decode the serials on a postwar rebuild plate and wondered if any reader could add a little more maybe? The plate claims an 'S' Repair was carried out on 4/55 at B269, Which i understand to be a commercial garage. What would an 'S' repair denote, is it a grade of rebuild? additionally the vehicle reg is 79ZB85, I haven't previously noted any ZB registrations, maybe just not looking closely enough. Does ZB mean it is likely to be ex RAF? Interestingly this vehicle was in private ownership in Manchester by Sept 1958, so was presumably disposed of earlier in the year, Are there any disposal catalogues out there that may list it for sale the vehicle is a Humber Box regards nick

Hi I am pleased to say this Humber was not cut up, its partner vehicle however was reclaimed for parts. This Humber has been in my shed for nearly 15 years. It is safe and very very complete but still needs restoratation regards Nick

Hi Dave Hope all good with you and the family? kind regards nick

hi mike A quick Hi from just up the road regards nick

hi Robin These guys are good http://www.kingstown-shipping.co.uk/ regards nick

These look rather like C8A axles. Six stud hubs and 9.25 x 16 wheels / tyres. What happened to the rest of the truck? regards nick

hi we attended Waddington for years, initially at the request of the RAF, but last year our application was returned with a note explaining that they were no longer accepting MV entries, so this year I didn't bother applying, I understand they still accept classic car entries regards nick

Hi it looks rather like a Humber box Heavy Utility under all that tin work... regards nick

hello Rob Theres a name I remember from the past! Any Humber bits still in the shed? kind regards and welcome nick

Hi Tony How good to hear a name from the past. I spent many happy hours at the Gateway pub in manchester at the MVCG Meetings in the early 80's when you first bought the K2, I was only a kid then and my father used to have to do the driving! Now I have to do it myself for my kids.. Hope your well, at least the interest in MV's is a constant! kind regards nick

Hi Stu Welcome from East Yorkshire Kind regards nick

Hi Fellas I have just this morning received a knock back from Waddington and wondered if any one else had also received one. We've exhibited there for many years and am assuming that there must be a policy change for military vehicles since we're apparently no longer welcome. regards nick

hi mark I have a feeling thst this ended up with a guy in manchester around that time, he also has a Leyland Retriever crane at the same time. regards nick

I think this truck used to belong to Terry Till in Near Preston in Lancashire? Nice looking motor, sat on milweb for some time I recall kind regards nick

Hi Clive I get the impression that its all a bit last minute, but as I understand it there is a new organising company who are more involved with vehicle shows and the MV display is back in the hands of Peter Slater as it was for many years prior. I'm going. if only because the familly enjoy the weekend so much regardless of the number of MVs!!! So i can sort you a tea if needed, do you still have that mobile shed :-)? kind regards nick

hello ian it rather depends on what and when you have in mind but I do have an ex canadian army chevrolet C8A ambulance just down the road kind regards nick

thanks for that, I'll have a go regards nick

Its just a collection that has accumulated over a long time, infact at 40 years I seem to have turned into the person I was always critical of at age 20. Shed full of stuff that never sees the road... maybe thats just the way it goes! that and the geography. Any way how do you post pictures on this forum? regards nick

east yorkshire, not far from a strip of sand called spurn point, and with a coastline that gets closer to the back door each week... rgds nick

bike? certainly not, they only have a half set of wheels nick

several chevrolets just seemed to happen, at least it made the spares thing easy. Having just turned up a canadian ford has thrown me a bit, but we;ll get over it! regards nick

Hi fellas Have been collecting military vehicles for a number of years, I still own the willys jeep I rebuilt as a school boy back in 1980, Along the way I have accumluated a few other toys, though living way up north as I do (well sort of...) I don't get out as often as I'd like too... A couple of rug rats slows you down a little too! But the vehicle collection currently comprises, 1943 Willys MB, EX USMC Italy. 1943 Chevrolet C8A Heavy Utility Personel. ICI, 1943 Chevrolet C8A HUA Ambulance, ex Ian McCallum, ex Bart Vanderveen, Chevrolet C15, No 11 cab, unrestored, long range project. been on the back burner for 20 years, its a very early contract 2002 chevrolet 1940. 1940 Chevrolet C8 Wireless truck,restored and very quick. Humber heavy utility, 1942, unrestored but very complete, (on the short list for the treatment), 1967 AMC Mechanical Mule, EX USMC Vietnam period, great around the garden! 1944 Universal carrier, No2 mK2*, just arrived, I have waited years to find a good one of these, so I'm real pleased to be looking after this one for a while. additionally, several trailers, generators and assorted scrap that I keep meaning to tidy up!!!.. Basically, I suppose, I'm a CMP Anorak. The CMP C8A ambulance was the holy grail vehicle and it was the sight of this vehicle which first got me started, so to eventually own it is a real priviledge Now show me those 9.00 * 16 track grip tyres!!! regards nick
