The Humber Super Snipe was built in Britain between 1938 and 1967. In 1964 the Rootes Group revived the Humber Imperial name for its top of the range Humber Super Snipe. The car had vinyl clad roof and automatic transmission fitted as standard, along with a luxuriously appointed interior featuring fully reclining front seats and separately controlled rear passenger heater. The model also featured electrically adjustable rear shock absorbers to aid ride comfort. Limited numbers were built and it is thought approximately 40-50 examples still exist in various states of repair.
