A potato merchant from Hull has opened his doors to the his collection of old Humber cars, It's the largest collection in the UK, It makes an interesting read.

That is Uber-cool!!

 

Glad to see he has an Arrow shape Sceptre aswell.

 

That's just the sort of thing I'd do if I won the lottery...just have a barn full of old cars...mainly old tat,(Talbots, BL shite, Ladas etc) but in nice nick....not all lop-sided and rusty like at Stondon.

Lovely old barges and beautifully restored; I think I'm about to update my fantasy garage

 

Duke of Windsor, King George VI, Churchill, Monty and Baroness Rothschild used them; no wonder the Daily HateMail called it the poor man's Rolls-Royce As for 5mpg, the Motor got 17 from a side-valve 4-litre Super Snipe so I assume that they have poached the Daily Express's house price expert.

Magnificent! Quite frankly it's a bit too Humbercentric for my liking but lord knows if I had the money I'd need a fcuk off large barn for my tat!

I'm pretty sure massive underground lair tops draughty barn everytime

Awesome....real Humbers.

 

There is something uber cool about older Humbers simply because they are not Mercs/Rolls/Jags etc....something a bit subversive, even unorthodox.

 

I hope the Arrow shape one is included with pride, perhaps not as expensive or quality as the rest, but it was always a respectible and practical motor of its time.

These Humbers are out and about all the time in Hull - they are all painted in the same livery and it's pretty impressive to see them - often enough there are two or three together at some "do".
