Introduced at the 1952 Earl’s Court Motor Show, the MKIV version of Humber’s well-established Super Snipe was powered by a 4138cc OHV straight-six engine allied to four-speed manual transmission (though, an automatic gearbox was optional from 1956 onwards). A handsome three-box design with various transatlantic styling cues, the MKIV was marketed to bank managers, lawyers and government officials. Available in saloon or limousine guises, some 17,993 were sold between 1952 and 1958. Though today, survivors are few and far between.
