The "Box" was the only 4x4 heavy utility car produced by the British
in WWII. It was used as a staff and command car and had provisions for
a
folding map board behind the front two seats. The two rearmost
passenger seats doubled as cargo space
(folding up if needed) and were accessed by double doors at the rear.
The other four seats were accessed by side doors. When used in Africa,
some had the hard top replaced by a canvas type.
The Humber used 2.8 gallons of fuel per hour at routine usage.
