Hi Tom,

I don't have an email for the person or the South Australian Humber club,
but I'll try to get one from a contact I have in the Humber club of New
South Wales.  I'll post again if any luck.  Also, perhaps some South
Australian Hillman Lister (Brian Vogt, Peter Taverner, John McRae are you
there??) knows someone in the Humber Club????

Regarding the UK, there was a later post on the Humber list giving  a phone
number for someone there.  Here's a snip from it.
