  • Retired work colleague Steve Lewis exhibited his Humber Super Snipe MkIII at Eastbourne’s “Magnificent Motors” on the Western Lawns on 1st May 2022. I was lucky enough to get a lift back to Polegate.
    Watch out for the steam roller which makes a couple of appearances!

    my dad had one in the 50s & 60s, LAD 958 in satin bronze & fitted with a 6354 perkins with a chrysler airflow g/box & o/drive, 33 mpg for a 2 ton + car in those days was pretty good.

    Lovely Humber, I’ve just seen this very Car on the John Peel Classic Cars programme from the 1990’s- early 2000 👌🏽😊

    Very popular taxi at Newquay railway station in the 1950's beloved by the Drivers and customers for two small rear facing seats. Could accommodate families in a single trip. Smooth, quiet quality car.

    I can't believe that steam-roller is legal to drive on the roads. The Humber car reminds me of an American Packard. It's a superb and elegant design.

    This actual car was registered in my home town of Hastings, Sx. UK. And was in all probability supplied by the now defunct Local Rootes garage: Jarretts Motors, who were located in Silverhill. According to DVLA, the car is still in regular use.

      Whoops ! Just noticed the "Langney Motors" of Eastbourne sticker on, the fascia of this beaut. As a kid, my uncle had a shooting break, (Woodie) of this model.

    The dog in the first carriage of the traction engine group does not seem to be very thrilled.

    A superb example of its type. I always thought Humber cars were a cut and more above the competition for style and comfort in their executive class motors. Sorry, but I like the car more than the steam engine.

    Is it the same as Wesley Pegdon had one?
    Why did no one tell the captain on the bridge that a one of the trailer wheel was flat?

    Beautiful car. Off topic but I think steam rollers, and such should be banned off the roads. I wonder how many crashes have been caused by frustrated drivers trying to overtake.

      Like those shown in the video - breaking the law by overtaking in the "no overtaking" zone of a pedestrian crossing?
