| It's a professional car (funeral coach) on Humber chassis. |

| Was it sold a commercial chassis (like Cadillacs) or could it have a model name ? |

| I'm not convinced this is a Mulliner hearse. Retaining the standard windscreen and altering the front door window frames this way is more typical for Abbot of Farnham or Alpe & Saunders. Unfortunately the hearse seems to be no longer among us. Pitty, since it is darn nice. |

| You may be correct. 1950 Mulliner-bodied examples were created, however if this is not one of them, Thrupp and Maberly were in-house builders for Humber so this may be the answer? The screen on this example does look quite different http://dissolute.com.au/avweb/emmabw/402-cars.html -- Last edit: 2006-12-13 21:56:36 |

| That´s nothing less than a needle in a haystack, but I think I got it: There was a quite unknown firm named "Lawton Motor Bodybuilding" in the UK, that turned out Humber hearses. What you see below is their high line version (seemingly a rebuilt Woodall-Nicholson hearse with a new Lawton body). I am quite sure the one used in "Open All Hours" was a Humber low line hearse by Lawton. ![[Image: lawtonhumberpullmandecksd3.th.jpg]](http://img175.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lawtonhumberpullmandecksd3.jpg "http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/6386/lawtonhumberpullmandecksd3.th.jpg") |
