The Humber Sceptre was introduced in 1963, it was a luxury car which was more sporty in character than traditional Humbers. The Sceptre was positioned at the top of the mid-range Rootes Group cars, and it featured similar twin headlight styling to the Vogue and had the more powerful 80 bhp version of the 1,592 cc Minx engine. The high level of equipment included disc front brakes, overdrive, screen washers, reversing lamp, rev counter and a full range of instruments. Automatic transmission was made available later. A MK IA was introduced in 1964. Whilst the Super Minx and Vogue received revised six light styling in 1964, the Sceptre body continued unchanged until 1965 when it was replaced by the MK II. Production of the MK I and IA models totalled 17,011 units.
The Sceptre MK II, introduced in 1965, featured revised front end styling and a twin carburettor version of the 1,725 cc engine. It was produced until 1967. Production of the MK II totalled 11,983 units. It had good performance, maximum speed was nearly 95 mph, and 0-60 mph in 12.5 secs.
We have here a classic Humber for restoration, complete and ready for love. It is a Barn Find from Private Collection. There are no keys, and V5c will need to be applied for.
