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

Looking good Luigi... especially the added angles and dimensions on the boxes, wish mine was done like that when the museum originally restored mine, unfortunately they did a horrible job on almost everything......hence my total rebuild as you know...Pretty soon she should look like this..

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 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

Hi Luigi,

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

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

Hi,

I know Humber Scout Cars and have worked on one. Depending on its date of build it might have white paint inside, but the one I worked on had silver in hidden places behind brackets, so pretty sure it was original. Chassis and axles, engine and transmission black. I am restoring a Humber armoured car and that is definitely silver inside from original, date 1942. The vehicle colour was brown, a good sample found behind a plate that may not have been disturbed since it was built. It was good enough to get a paint match from, this would have been SCC No.2 Brown
