A most extraordinary collection has come to daylight in Belgium. The Humber line-up of eclectic amateur Andre Mol. When sometime halfway the sixties Andre's love for old cars awoke, his father threatened to kick him out of the house, so Andre kept quiet until the demise of the old man in 1972. But then he began buying cars with a pace few others can follow, and no longer than a few weeks later he almost had a blower Bentley, drove a Railton for some time, but finally lost his heart to Humber. He drove at least 10 or 12 different models and bought about any Humber his wallet would allow him. Not too long ago Andre - nickname Willy - Mol has left for the green-green Humber heaven, his family has the task to take care for the 18 cars remaining, including a very rare Pulman Landaulette. Some of the cars are fine, some in need of a good portion of TLC, yet most of them are in poor condition. But what a treasure! What a treasure for any Humber afficionado or at least a fabulous mine for digging up post vintage Humber parts.

note: who can fill us in regarding the "Willy Pol Trophy"?

Update: Harit Trivedi sends a photo of presumably the only other Pulman Landaulette in existence, which is in his collection.
