Badged as a Humber and representing the top of the Rootes group range, with twin carburettors, quad head lights, and twin reversing lamps. The manual has a four speed all synchromesh gearbox with twin overdrive.

This car was bought from a scrapyard as a donor vehicle for the Estate version (64 in this sequence). The owners information sheet shows a picture of the car in the yard under a pile of other vehicles. When he got it home he decided it was to good to scrap, and set about restoring it to its present condition. It had been of the road since 1990 and was returned to roadworthy condition in 2007. He even managed to persuade the DVLA to re-issue the original number.
