Registration No: YW 6340
Chassis No: 5701
MOT: Exempt
Humber Limited had an important year during 1923, with the adoption across the range of new inlet over exhaust engines, replacing the previously adopted side-valve units, along with the introduction of a new luxury small car, the 985cc 8hp (later called the 8/18). Very much a ‘big car in miniature’, it was generously equipped by the standards of the day. Developed through the 1056cc, 9/20 to the improved 9/28hp introduced in 1929.
‘W/O No 9528’ was originally supplied by the Humber works to their New Bond Street showroom on the 7th of June 1928. Today, the original Weyman fabric body is finished in Duck Egg Blue with an original and nicely presented saddle leather interior. There is known ownership since 1961, with the engine restored some 30 years ago, with 5000 miles covered since. More recently, the rest of the mechanical rebuild was carried out over a three year period and completed just 5 years ago. The odometer currently reads 05701 miles. It’s a well-known car in Humber Club and local VSCC circles. There are accompanying MOTs dating back to 1988 at 94,937 miles. The vendor reports that 'YW' drives ‘very well’ and is reluctantly being sold only to enable space for another vintage Humber. Offered with ‘YW’ is a history file that includes various V5 Registration Documents, an RF60, the original owner's handbook, the MOTs dating back to 1988 and sundry correspondence, invoices, notes etc.
