To rebuild the vintage 1942 Humber armoured car, experts have been piecing together more than 1,000 parts to have it ready for celebrations marking 50 years since Portugal's Carnation Revolution.

"It's moving to see the vehicle I was in on that day again... I knew after that, Portugal would never be the same again," 73-year-old Jose Afonso de Oliveira, a retired psychologist, told AFP.
