In Autoshite terms, this is IN TOP CONDITION.

Bloody hell Mein Herr, that looks worse than the 1969 Sceptre I had!  Mind, that was in 1983...

 

The OP is asking for 1975/6 because it's the end of the run (I presume), and I think these have the bigger bumpers too, earlier models will have the slim ones.

[Junkman]

I'd be glad if a 70s Humber has any bumpers at all.

The only place where you see them in any numbers is the Stan Woods Memorial.

There was a turquoise metallic one stooging around my way until recently, at least I don't think it was a Hunter, it had a vinyl roof. I have a liking for the 'Arrow' cars, an estate would be good.

Who is it on here that's got that amazing, restored estate ? That must be one of the best in the country.

[mercrocker]

Remember it being posted up but not who by.....Those late Sceptre estates are a particular favourite of mine, partly because they came out right at the end of production when we were least expecting it.

PC did a Mk2 Cortina vs Hillman Hunter article a couple of months ago; one of their better efforts, they were good motors as was the Avenger in it's humble way.

[Uncle Jimmy]

Found it.

Aside from Seth i think theres two other people on here with 'arrow' series cars i'm sure someone had an ex show car gold humber estate and somone had a late minx saloon in red with most amazing seats of ever. I think someone else had a yellow saloon.

Could've been the same person thinking about.

Arrow series cars are wonderful things. Personal preference is for earlier cars but each to there own.

Hey Bryer have you seen this?

 

No pictures/rubbish advert but if you put any faith in the limited description offered this could be for you?

The Iranian dough juggler down at the pizza parlour has a very tidy Hunter.

Wilko 220 had one, but he hasn't been around for a while

You shure its not a Peykan, smuggled in with a shipload of Iranian saffron for the pizzas?

Happy memories as I learned to drive and passed my test in an Arrow Minx that belonged to my grandfather. It was replaced by an Avenger when the tin worm took hold. I liked that too, but I was probably too teenage to admit as much at the time.

It's a genuine Hillman, he looked long and hard for it, it's a tidy one and he paid a lot of money for it.

He was genuinely surprised when I said 'so, where you are from, this would be a Paykan?'

He couldn't belive a guy from down the street knew what that was.

The Paykan sure has total cult status in Iran's very lively old car scene, which of course is a factor in

him choosing the Hillman as his toy.

if you have facebook, see if you can find a guy called Emrys Warriner, up Yorkshire way. I think he's still a Humber guru
