Further Info:
This charming Vintage Tourer benefited from a major restoration not many years ago, since when it has covered very few miles. The previous family retained 'DP 7434' for no less than 40 years and it was during their tenure that a decades' long programme of improvement took place. Still more restorative work has occurred since the latest keeper took charge and included the installation of new gaskets and seals, Hardy Spicer propshaft discs, front dampers, and tyres (including spare). The braking system, wiring and Dynastart assembly have been overhauled and the Humber treated to a full service. It is beautifully finished in Grey over Black and trimmed in Brown button hide. The easily erected hood is of double duck. The vendor informs us that 'the engine starts easily and runs like new, the steering is light and direct, the suspension taut and the car a real pleasure to drive, with performance arguably a little superior to that of a comparable Rolls-Royce 20hp'. 'DP 7434' comes complete with running board-mounted fuel can and radiator topped with characterful temperature gauge.
