Yes but which one?
I have to say I'm not very good on production cars.....
However I'll have a guess at a Humber Pullman c. 1948....

I wonder why you guessed that, which happens to be correct!
Well done and that's finished this now.

Might well do. However for some time I had my eye on the souce that I mined for this one, and the chassis seam has nearly run out.
Might do an engines group next, probably when Duncan's on holiday as he knows the source, all 250 pages of it ;D

If you ask me nicely I'll give the next one a miss. 
And I won't tell anyone else the mother lode, no matter how nicely they ask. :-X  :shakehead:

Thanks for the offer, but if and when I do a next one I'll leave it open to you and it'll be your decision how much of it you do. Or I'll post it in Pros & Feature Writers first . . .
I think there are others here that we sometimes see in the other place, so you may find it a bit more frenetic.
