Wanted. Humber Scout/FWD parts

[Ben.. 10]

Hi

I'm looking for any WW2 Humber FWD parts, specifically Scout car but heavy utility too. Drive train, axles, wheels, PLM mount. Any parts considered, cash waiting. PM me.

Thanks

Ben

Sounds like you have an interesting project?

I take it you are restoring a Scout?

[Ben.. 10]

Yes, I’m restoring a Scout and helping with a second restoration. We’re keen to see if there are any spares lurking in people’s workshops that may help us.

I've always liked the look of the Humber Scout Car & they're a fairly uncommon sight in my experience, so it's good to hear that a couple more may soon see the light of day 👍

I havent seen one in the flesh, always liked the look of them being a fan of Rootes vehicles.

Hi

i am looking for information on this Humber box,

As I believe it has an RAF registration number.

Any other GXW regos considered.

Hi Ben, I recently found a Humber wheel in woodland (ex US WW2 vehicle depot) near Salisbury. I can let you know roughly where it is if you're local and feel up to hauling it out. It didn't look too bad, rusty but solid. Although I didn't inspect it in great detail.

Regards  

Tom

Rupert,

This Humber box in your post is an ex-BBC vehicle and since been restored back to those times. Check out the fleet number on the door and it is very close to the number on the Oostende dock pass you posted on another thread, so likely that was another Humber Utility traveling to or from Belgium

Info with this photo:

 

A Humber 4 x 4 heavy utility vehicle on display at the Ardingly Vintage and Classic vehicle show - Ardingly, Sussex. According to the owners information, the vehicle was used by the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) as an outside broadcast unit. The vehicle was then bought by a reporter and used privately. Here the vehicle has been restored to being part of the BBC fleet.

Hi Richard,

that would explain the Government registration number,

Just a few numbers off.
