Roy that one is in Coventry Transport Museum, even so I was disappointed with the few Humbers there, I am going to donate a Snipe when I win the Lottery.
Hello ironside, the Coventry Transport Museum. Is this out at Gaydon, Warwickshire or is there another one in Coventry itself?

For a couple of years down here in Kent I worked making Lift Cars for an engineering Co,Next door was another engineering Co,but they did car refurbishment.They had the biggest Russian car I have ever seen.after 2 years it started to look beautiful.My Co went bust so never managed to see it finished.

I can remember them having one of these on Blue Peter in the early 60's  O0


I can remember that name of rumble seat, that was the seat that nobody liked to sit in, in "The Beverly Hillbillies "

That Morris Oxford has had the wrong shade of paint sprayed on the bonnet. They should have blended the paint job that's if you know what the blending process is.

The metalics of the 70's were the devils own to blend, very often ended up painting the whole side of the car. These would be fresh cars too, not faded that much.  :-\ [size=78%] [/size]

Saw a Ford Cortina MkIII on the way to work this morning.  Made me smile with a hit of nostalgia  :)
