1933 HUMBER SNIPE 80 SALOON 

This stately Snipe 80 saloon, believed to be the only one left on the road in the UK, was registered in March 1933 and has been the subject of a photographic nut-and-bolt restoration over the course of 14 years. The car is showing 63,461 miles on its odometer. As an historic vehicle, the Humber is MoT-exempt; there's no record of it having had one since online records began in 2005. The car is reported as running and driving well. 

During World War Two, the car was used as a tow machine for a garage and continued in this capacity after the conflict, until being purchased by  a new owner. It then spent a period in barn storage before its restoration began in 2014, a process that took several years.  

Documentation includes the V5C, photographs of the restoration (some in large format laminated form) along with some period images, 1935-36 AA handbook, The Motor book of prices for 1936 cars, Humber Snipe and Pullman instruction manual, 1933 Humber sales catalogue and coachwork booklet, 1930s spare parts catalogues and a Made in Nottinghamshire: The Motor Car Manufacturing Heritage book.
