Humber Super Snipe or Imperial. Can't really see if it has the Imperial's vinyl roof. A rag and bone man for ingo too ![]() -- Last edit: 2011-06-09 17:47:25 |

I think from the apparently rounded roofline it is S3 Super Snipe Oct 60 - Aug 62. S4 had a grille badge which would probably show here. S5 Snipe (and Imperial) had different angular roofline. My only uncertainty is that the bumper here looks as if it has the smaller over-riders of the S5/Imperial - could be a photo-effect or a replacement bumper or whatever - so I'll stick with S3. |

Looks like Imperial as it has the deeper front screen, more angular roof and different bumpers and over-riders of the 1964-onwards Series V/Imperial facelift. Another pointer towards Imperial is the fitment of two auxiliary driving-lights in front of the grille. It also has amber front indicator lenses, and no 'Rootes Group' badge in the centre of the grille such as found on Series IV. |

OK, I'm convinced. Good to see another enthusiast for Rootes-jewels in our midst - not enough imcdbers appreciate the finer things in life. (And now I'll hide behind the sofa from the usual deluge of horrid comments.....) |

When you've driven as many miles as I have in various Hunters and a Sceptre you'll understand. I suppose the big Humber had its use, providing a manual gearbox for the Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire. As for failure to appreciate the finer things in life.............I do have a Bentley and a Mercedes. -- Last edit: 2015-09-06 18:15:45 |
