The Super Snipe returned to the UK market in 1946, but the car we now more widely recognise arrived in 1958. The new Super Snipe took inspiration from the United States, and, in many respects, more readily resembled a scaled-down Chevrolet 4-door rather than a Rootes Group product.
The car steadily evolved on its march through to 1967. This particular example is from the 3rd series - which was not only the first car to offer twin headlights, but boasted a reworked suspension that made for an altogether more stable, easy-to-handle motor. It was a luxurious, comfortable car that merged American-style styling with distinctly British executive comfort.
This particular vehicle has been in the current ownership for 7 years and has been meticulously stored in a dry, well-kept garage, something that's reflected in its excellent condition. The car's originality is a key highlight, with many components either restored or maintained to a high standard. The result is an utterly fine example of a rare, eminently curious car.
Car & Classic's secure payment system protects buyers and sellers. At the end of the auction, the winning bidder transfers payment into a third-party escrow account. Once the transfer of the vehicle is complete, both parties confirm they are happy with the sale and the money is released to the seller.
