We went to Groombridge Place Gardens 'Wings Wheels & Steam' last Sunday and this was parked opposite. It looked in very good shape and with most original old parts to me with my very limited knowledge of Kubels, missing just a few odd bits to make it correct again. I didnt really talk to the man although he was very helpful but I just couldnt wait for him to finish a long winded story that in places I silently realised I possibly knew more about the vehicle spec than he did :oops: so sorry for my lack of patience :lol:
But I did wonder why, when they had only 3 Kubels did it end up on the wrong pan? Deliberately by Humber? ( Probably, when they wrote how rubbish it was, but secretly knew it was a very good vehicle 😳 :lol: ) Or simply by accident?
I guess there might have been a write up in a uk magazine from the distant past? Anyone else know it?
All I know is that even not being into Kubels I would really like to own this one if it's history/provenance is true!
