  • Vehicle History

    • This two door version of the four door Humber Super Snipe Utility is one of only 250 that were built on a single contract for the Royal Air Force (it is number 216). Most of these vehicles were believed to have been lost in France with the British Expeditionary Force in 1940. This one was sold by the Ministry of Supply to a farmer in 1947. In the early 1980s this vehicle was restored after being found in a barn. It was acquired by the present owners in 2004.
