SUMMARY
A rather imposing example of the third generation of Humber's 4-litre, six-cylinder, post-war limousine.
DESCRIPTION
- Introduced in 1950, the MK III was distinguished by spats over the rear wheels, dome-shaped bumpers and the rectangular stainless steel foot-treads on the running-boards
- Mechanical improvements included a rear Panhard rod which limited sideways movement of the rear wheels permitting the use of softer springs
- First registered on 06/03/1952, this example is classically presented in black with 'whitewall' tyres
- Lovely interior in gently patinated red leather with beige carpets, a polished wood dashboard and a Bakelite steering wheel and switches
- Powered by a 4,086cc straight-six generating 113bhp and offering 0-60 in 19 seconds and 82mph. 4-speed column change gearbox
- Sadly the history file was mislaid by the previous keeper but it does appear that the car has had the benefit of some restoration work during its life
- This venerable Humber is used on a regular basis by its current owner as it drives so well and is often seen and admired at a few watering holes in Warwickshire
