cl82 ◊ 2018-10-16 21:41	Humber Super Snipe (Mark III?).

johnfromstaffs ◊ 2018-10-16 22:49	I would therefore suggest that the thumb is not the same car.
dsl ◊ 2018-10-16 22:58	Correction: all big Humbers had this 4-round light format for Sept 48 to Sept 49 only. So likely the same Pullman Mk2; Imperial was introduced Sept 49 so should only exist with later lights.
