1924 Humber 15.9 HP Landaulette, this is the only known surviving example of a Humber 15.9 with a Landaulette body. BA 4683 was first registered in Salford on 28 June 1924. The car was chauffeur driven and had done 14,500 miles by 1930. In 1955, when it was sold on, it had been driven 28,000 miles. There is a surviving MoT certificate from 1961 noting a mileage reading of 30,936, when in the ownership of a Mr. Rostron, an avid classic car dealer and collector. The current mileage is 33,273. After a variety of owners the car was dismantled in 1976 and then in 1986 was restored by Wilkinsons of Derby with an elegant Bedford Cord and brocade interior (the poor chauffeur was only given leather to sit on!) More recently the car was used regularly as a wedding car around Retford. The restoration has retained its quality having had very light use since its restoration. I bought the car from a collection in 2014 and have done some general upkeep work on it, but haven't been able to use it as much as it deserves since then, due to a variety of medical issues and Covid restrictions – hence the sad decision to sell. The 2815cc 4 cylinder engine pulls strongly & makes light work of hills, with 4 forward gears and reverse. Just as well as it now resides in the Cotswolds! It comes with a travelling trunk, its own parasol for elegant passengers when travelling 'open', an original Humber manual/instruction book and a variety of Humber tools.
