i'd say Humber... |

Humber definitely.... For me probably a 1950 Humber Hawk http://www.adclassix.com/ads2/50humberhawk.htm |

Yes, agreed, Humber Hawk, most likely a Mk.IV (1950-52). |

NB: Antoine, here is another car with strange Mark and Series designation: Humber Hawk Mk I 1945-47 Mk II 1947-48 Mk III 1948-50 Mk IV 1950-52 Mk V 1952-54 Mk VI 1954-55 Mk VIa 1956-57 Series I 1957-59 Series Ia 1959-60 Series II 1960-62 Series III 1962-64 Series IV 1964-66 Series IVa 1966-67 To use the Mk-field perhaps a choice could be provided (radio buttos or drop-down-list): Something like: Mk. Series Phase T (VW Bus) ... plus a help link to the (not yet existing) glossary. So, if you are bored, and don't know what to do ... ![]() |

mk field is just an integer that is formatted later depending on the make (& model), but I can't make that choice available for each vehicle. In the case of the Hawk, we could use numbers from 1 to 10 (skipping the VIa/IVa) do: if 1 to 6, "Mk" followed by the value else "Series" followed by the value-6 but it is maybe not easy to use when editing the vehicle info... -- Last edit: 2006-08-02 13:23:28 |

It's okay, if you like to type in a three page long explanation... ![]() Perhaps (in the future) you can change it into a text field, as extra letters (e.g. Series IIa) are important. |

The problem is that roman numbers will not be written automatically on the basis of a normal number then, if the field does not contain just a number. Or I could allow numbers with decimal part, e.g. 2.1 for "IIa" ![]() I made that integer-based system so all cars of a same make or model had same naming style, to prevent "Mk.6", "Mk3", "MK IV" for various Ford Fiesta for example... Also to have a correct sorting by number, including roman ones. -- Last edit: 2006-08-02 16:30:44 |
