1964 Humber Sceptre MKI 1592cc 4 door saloon, reg. no. BWC 856B. Finished in an attractive two tone red colour scheme, this Rare 1960's Humber presents itself very well, with very good paintwork, chrome, carpet and interior. It is offered for auction by direction of executors of the late owner's estate. They have informed us that the car currently has a fuel leak so is unable to be run safely. It is supplied with a V5, keys and owners handbook. Additional paperwork will be passed on to the new keepers if located. (Subject to 12% buyers premium inclusive of VAT).The Humber overall presents very nicely and would appear to have been restored at some stage in its past. The interior, carpets, paint and chrome all present very nicely but with a few areas that could be improved.The bonnet / front end is quite flat with some spotting / micro blisters and would benefit from a machine polish or possibly a respray. The chrome work overall is not perfect (but is very good) with some minor pitting only. The tyres all round are cracked and would in our opinion need replacing. The drivers seat has some damage to the piping but otherwise the interior is very good. The sills, arches and door bottoms are all good with no signs of rust coming through. Mechanically the car needs some attention as it will run over but does not run, although it sounds like it wants to! The fuel leak would appear to be coming from / close to the carb (see additional pictures). The car (MOT exempt) was last MOT'd in July 2019. We believe it has not been run on the road for around 12 months.
