Working Man’s Rolls-Royce: 1962 Humber Super Snipe

Wood, real leather, and a vast bonnet concealing a big six. Such was the romantic image of Rolls-Royces, Rovers and Jaguars in the 1960s; bastions of the establishment sweeping their owners down old English lanes. But what if a Silver Shadow is a bit too common for you, a Rover’s image too old, or a Mark II too much of a bank robber’s car? Or, you don’t have the money for one of those aristocratic dowagers? Then the Humber is for you, the Rolls-Royce for trade-unionists. Find this 1962 Humber Super Snipe in Wodonga, Victoria, Australia, for $5,000 AUD ($3800 USD) via gumtree.com.au.
