Arriving in 1963, the Sceptre was to be Humber’s last hurrah.

Traditionally well-appointed, the Sceptre was initially based on the Super Minx from Hillman and intended to be a replacement for the Sunbeam Rapier, explaining the more modern and sportier design.

The Mk III of 1966 formed part of the Rootes ‘Arrow’ range of motor cars and was one of the finest of the four models offered, with brightwork on the rear panel and wheel arches, a wood veneer dashboard and a vinyl roof.

Just under 44,000 Mk IIIs were produced before Chrysler purchased the Rootes Group and rebadged certain Hillman models in 1976.

The Mk III Sceptre offered was manufactured new in 1969 and was first registered in the United Kingdom on the 8 th of May that year.

Fitted with the 1725cc straight-four engine mated to the four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive on 3rd and 4th, the Humber is finished in the attractive colour scheme of Sherwood Green paintwork with Tan vinyl interior upholstery and wood trim.
