    Wow, I would think even for the UK that would be a very rare wagon from new.

    So, do you remember witch side the gas fill up is on the lites? I believe it's the passenger side reflector.

    The Humber in my barn is worst for wear as it sat outside for close to 10 years and the owner never did anything, he did the same to a 64 Studabacker 4 door. The Humber IMO had a very nice.... do you have any Grey Popon (mustard) interiour. Beautiful real wood dash, leather, big shame to see a rare car wagon or not go to trash.

    I'm pretty sure gas cap was under the passenger side rear reflecter. Dad always loved the attended service at gas stations (remember them!) attendant carrying the pump from one side of the car to the other scratching his head....

    Okay, I feel like an idiot. Upon further inspection, you are absolutely right about the shadow. You'd thing an artist who depends on his keen observation skills would have figured that one out...
    I'm thinking you are also right about the make of the car. So those sail panels aren't glass at all, rather some kind of groovy vents or just good old trim decor. No matter, I now really want one...

    That was a really good one, MotoMike. The angle, through a fence...with shadows.
    A+

    It's available for sale in Alabama, seller calls it a van. To me a van is larger with swinging doors. This one is more like a mini Italian version of a Handyman?

    Thanks! :tiphat:
