Description
This lot will be auctioned via Classic Car Auctions, The Classic Car Sale at Stoneleigh Park 2024 on Saturday the 28th of September, Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, CV8 2LG.
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
