Nice and dry here, so a first test ride of the '49 Humber. Not too bad..
Snags:
Front wheel needs to be far truer than it is, brakes grab in sync with wheel rotation. Will try again on the frame, and if that fails take it to someone good at this!
Seat too far forward, simple spanner job. Frame feels short mind, so i hope i can get enough from it.
RHS chainwheel crank arm bent at pedal boss, but will live with it. About 1/8" off.
Jumps out of 1st to second when you turn the handle bars nearly 45 deg. Hope that is a simple adjustment, but outer cable length probably to blame.
Love it!

Not taken by me, but a lovely image
A DVLA check shows that the Ford was registered in 1953 (so only a year old in the photo!) is now yellow, was last taxed in 1981 with the last V5 issued in 1998.
The Routemaster hasn’t been so lucky!
