*High specification and fast 1970s saloon
*Relatively low mileage as stored for many years
*Interesting restoration project with good spares support


An great basis for a satisfying restoration, this Humber is an estate sale and has been garaged for a number of years. It is believed to be largely complete and is from the last year of production so benefits from the twin carburettor engine and closer ratio G-type gearbox, with the J-type Laycock De Normanville overdrive. Sold strictly as viewed.
