I fail to see the point to be honest. Must be noisy.

Never seen a left hook Humber before.... ???

At first i thought the negitive was back to front, but the dials look correct. Did they export Humbers, because that might be the only one. :cup:

would have at a guess fuel, the navigators job was also to keep the fuel pumped up. I once read this somewhere.

Maybe its something to do with the early version "auto parallel parking" mode or "blind spot" monitor or "hill decent" ;D

Looks a bit like something in an airplane.

That looks great compared to the red vehicle with all red accessories! That was hard on the eyes ... the timber work was great and looked great ... Now to go and put some drops in my eyes.

Post by: Mallory Black on August 06, 2013, 07:17:19 PM: Almost correct jclures
that's the dashboard off the famous blower Bentley.
Those 2 things are sight glasses for the oil supply to the supercharger which was mounted off the front of the crank and sat between the front wheels. Oil comes from the oil pump to the bowl and then it drip feeds to the blower and those little taps regulate the flow.
And yes those light switches that look like they came off your old queenslander are what was fitted back in the day.

I want one.....
