The Humber Super Snipe was built in Britain between 1938 and 1967. In 1964 the Rootes group revived the Humber Imperial name for its top of the range Humber Super Snipe. The car had vinyl clad roof and automatic transmission fitted as standard along with a luxuriously appointed interior featuring fully reclining front seats and separately controlled rear passenger heater. The model also featured electrically adjustable rear shock absorbers to aid ride comfort. Limited numbers were built and it is thought perhaps around 40-50 examples still exist in various states of repair.
This rare Imperial is presented in Goodwood green metallic with beige interior. Paint code 113. Body-work by Thrupp and Maberly Ltd of London. Having been off the road since 2012 the car has fallen in to disrepair and would be suitable for parts or a restoration project.
The engine received work in 2014 to get it running and the car was presented for MOT it failed on numerous points (see condition report for MOT fail). The current keeper then had the engine rebuilt including head repairs, head gasket etc in 23/ 03/ 2016 with a total cost of £3184. 23 invoice included (see condition report for full details).
Not running
The vehicle has however been parked up since the engine rebuild and we would suggest it is inspected before attempting to start it. The car still requires all of the other works addressing from the MOT fail.
