ENCLOSED LIMOUSINE COACHWORK. Since your query as to whether I could locate a Humber limousine that we could measure up I have obtained the following measurements. These I think may be of some use although naturally it would be of more use to have one of the actual cars to measure up :- E) front seat cushion to roof 38" M) rear floor to roof 49" L) rear seat to roof 38 1/2" N) rear seat depth 19 1/2" X) back of rear squab to division 60" (approx.) Y) division to dashboard 48 to 54" (approx.) J) full width of rear seat 55" I) width of rear seat between wheelarches 46" Z) width between front pillars 45" Other leading dimensions are :- 1) wheelbase 11' 2) track front 4'-10 3/8" track rear 5'-0 1/4" 3) overall length of car 16'-4" overall width of car 6'-2" Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Cr.{Mr Cra???ster / Mr Chichester} Cr.{Mr Cra???ster / Mr Chichester} | ||
