Rootes75 20 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Sounds like you have an interesting project? I take it you are restoring a Scout? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben.. 10 Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11th Armoured 12 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 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 👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rootes75 20 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I havent seen one in the flesh, always liked the look of them being a fan of Rootes vehicles. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rupert condick 10 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Hi i am looking for information on this Humber box, As I believe it has an RAF registration number. Any other GXW regos considered. regs rupert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom M 11 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 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.

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rupert condick 10 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Hi Richard, that would explain the Government registration number, Just a few numbers off. regs Rupert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
