I´m searching for a humber super snipe series IV LHD...
Discussion
Paul, the Humber owners club in the uk is the Post Vintage Humber Car Club. Google PVHCC and you'll find it. You could try a free ad on their website or in the magazine. But lhd Humbers are quite rare outside the US -and they're not exactly common there! And of course the Series IV was only made for the 1964 model year....
Good luck with your search - I run a series one, but the series IV is the most elegant of all I think....

Hi there Sid, the super snipe series IV runs from september 1962 to very late 1964 when was changed to the flat rear windscreen series v and Imperial...
The problem for a SS on lhd is that I have to search ( talking about this side of the Atlantic) on Holland, Belgium, Portugal or maybe Italy where these cars were sold in some numbers outside UK.
Today there´s no one for sale on internet... maybe on local papers classifieds can source one...
I have owned 3 humbers: a Super snipe series IV, a sceptre MkIc and a sceptre mkII... and now is the time to turn to another of this high quality brit car with the six line bulletproof engines and one of the nicest dashboards on any car...
Regards, Raul.

bulletproof engines
Pretty sure my uncle blew one up on the A40 Western Avenue when he worked for the local Rootes dealership 
(Warwick Wright at the time, I guess it's now a Peugeot dealer if it's still there). So not completely bulletproof. At least, it was either the Imperial or the Holbay Hunter. One of the two left a trail of conrods and what-have-you along the road.
not much help, but a guy near me has a large collection of humbers
