dsl ◊ 2016-02-14 22:07	This account from http://montysdouble.com.websitebuilder.prositehosting.co.uk/montys-doubles-humber-staff-car seems to apply Quote Monty's Double's 1939 Humber Super Snipe Staff Car ...... this 4 litre 6 cylinder Humber is a very early pre-war model, being the 555th made out of a production run of approximately 1500 built before the outbreak of the war ...... Supplied by Humber's prestigeous main showroom at Devonshire House in London's Piccadilly, it was registered in Greater London with the distinctive number 'FUU 23' and was reputedly used as a governmental staff car in Whitehall by Anthony Eden, Chamberlain, Churchill and Clement Attlee. In later years it was part of the late Tony Oliver's collection at the History On Wheels Museum in Eaton Wick, near Windsor. Tony's Company - TLO Film Services famously supplied military and civilian vehicles for over 30 years to high-profile TV and Film productions, including 'Battle of Britain' and 'The Eagle Has Landed' and the Humber is known to have had at least one starring role, in the 1987 spy film 'Blunt : The Fourth Man' alongside Anthony Hopkins and Iain Richardson. Interestingly, Tony Oliver's son Peter states that the Humber was originally Anthony Eden's, and research is being made into the Humber's early years in London and its list of previous owners. Lately it was restored to a high degree, and it was presumably at that point that the Humber's paintwork was changed from black to grey. We have not yet officially confirmed which was the original colour, although evidence so far seems to suggest that it was indeed black. .... but after the discussion and comments from johnfromstaffs about FUU 23 at /vehicle_887552-Humber-Pullman-1939.html may well be wrong, with the pictured car actually being a 1945 Humber Pullman limo by Thrupp & Maberly.
