Brilliant! Sharing the Humber on the Faversham memories group also got these little nuggets of info:

I remember Lord Harris’s estate. They used to have a “ Shoot “ there every now & again. When the shoot was over my Dad & I drove around the perimeter of the estate picking up all the game birds that had fallen outside the walls Pigeons, pheasants etc & took them home. We had a great feast of pigeons breasts, plucked & gutted by my Father & roasted in the oven I was probably 8 or 9 years old then. What a memory.

During the late 1940s and 1950s Lord Harris used to drive a British Racing Green Bristol motor car, when he went on the train to London he used to park it in the Mall close to the house I lived in. He passed away in 1984 aged 95.The Humber was used for civic occasions.

What was the last UK car sold with a side-hnged bonnet?

its a bus, and its one of the 4 original prototypes, rather then a production example, but RML3 from 1958 does (uniquely for a Routemaster) have a side hinged bonnet :)

Prototype AEC Routemaster RML3 (SLT 58), with its unique original front restored (including side-hinged bonnet unlike standard RMs) in Regent Street as part of the unique 2014 'London Bus Cavalcade' event, 22 June 2014

And Morgan of course - even now? But the J72 may be the last ''new car" as the Morgans are existing models continued? 😆

Would you rather drive this or have a tramp shit in your mouth? It's more 50/50 than it should be

I think I meant current 2cv, which belongs to my sister. I’d change her for someone less stressful certainly
