Hi Here is a close up of my scammell. all the screws are round head. Cheers Niels

Hi Here is some pictures of Ford F60B. 12 ore so where, used post war by the danish army, but being x candian ore british. Cheers

Hi Richard Yes that is correct, the rollers are missing, but I think that is due to some damage, it looks that way. So I am looking for a set if any one has spare ones. It seems that the vertical wheel sits where there normally is a box. Cheers

Hi I just noticed something on my Scammell, it has a vertical wheel above the rear winch outtake, is this a mod? Because haven’t been able to find it on any other that I have pictures of. Cheers I have marked it with a red cirkel

:rofl:

Thank you very much guys I thought that it would be sad if it had to spend another Christmas out side.... It is a runner but the cab and wood needs a lot of attention.

Hi here Is my Xmas present for myself this year. :-D

Hi last night I was looking at the sales adds that Rex Cadman, has on the war and peace show page, and I saw this, it looks very much like a Humber AC, standing in the back ground, can any one confirme this? From what I could see there was a lot of very rare things rusting away in that field, is he restoring them ore ..?

this might give a better idear of how its made

Here are some more, will take more next time I see it.

Well a humber isnt that big we put the hull on a engine trolly for a Leopard. And luckly both our humbers have a complet gun.

Here is the drivers seat before and after. And to derail myself a bit here is a picture of what the Dragoon club is restoring at the moment........ lucky b....... we are only going to sand last the Humbers Chassi, there is almost no rust on the hull, so we are only using a wirebrus on a angelgrinder to removing the many layers of topcoat paint.

Hi G506 I have made a new thread with some info and pictures Cheers

And here are some pictures of the second We haven’t started taking that apart yet. I am also very interested in getting some more internal pictures of Humber’s so we can locate what’s missing. But feel free to post pictures of other Humber’s here, every thing helps The last 2 pictures is numbers that I have found on the first Humber

On request here are some pictures of the two Humber’s that I am working on, they are own by the Royal Hussar regiment and the royal arms museum. One is going to be fully restored, the other is parts donor, and is going to a static display. (Not my decision) The first. this is the one that is going to run again, it had been at a regiment, for many years, most of the years indoor, then when the regiment moved, in 2000, it left out side a tank workshop nearby, in the process of moving it the axles where removed. Then 2 years ago, it was decide that the historical vehicles that the army had should be preserved. So two clubs where formed, one at the Hussars and one at the Dragoons, with the purpose of restoring and maintaining the old vehicles. We got the Humber 1,5 years ago. It was missing drive shafts, main and transfer gearbox, a lot of the electrical equipment and various bits and pieces. Its build in 42. The engine is rebuilt in 44, and the first time we tried to start it, it sprung to life with ease. The last time it ran was in the late fifties, this just proves how good British vehicles are. The second We got the second this spring, this one have been stored out side near the sea for many years, so it’s in a very bad state. The good thing about it, is that it been taken out of service, welted shut and then parked, so it’s mostly complete. This will act as the parts donor for the other and then be restored to a certain degree, but not running. We are still missing things for them so if any one has parts, please PM me, its mostly the electrical boxes and fittings that’s missing. I also want to thank Richard Farrant, Dirk Leegwater, Clive Hughes and Jim Burril fore there help And its the carrier I posted a pic of early thats park next to the Humber one the first picture

I have and can take some more pictures of it if anyone is interested.

Here is a more recent picture of one. Some of them where actualy used up to around 1968. The army thought that the centurions where a bit to expensive to drive and that they made to much damage to the roads and fields:cool2:. they where fitted with a mg for firering blanks. they where not so popular with the crews, and I know of only 3 surviving in Denmark. They where mostly used by the Royal Hussars and the Dragoons

Hi Peter Welcome to this great Forum. good to se more danes on it. where in Denmark do you live? And good Idear with buying a ferret, they are great fun. You might know this, but there are about five ferrets in DK. would like to se more, I have heard that the dealer Chris Muys have som fairly cheap for sale. And since that there are so few british vehicles in DK,and excess of American, buy a ferret MVH Niels
