Morning all,

It's not often that something this early pops up on ebay, it could be a fab little project for someone.

I guess this would have been built in Beeston Nottingham before Humber moved to Coventry. The Old factory still partly exists off Humber Road.
Mostly production was of bicycles then.

Optimistically priced, considering one in fine mechanical condition and rather more presentable than this one sold last year for £8,500.

A friend of mine bought one last year form an elderly couple. They had had an accident and overturned the car, and then decided they would never use it again. One of the carriage lamps was virtually destroyed and I heard that the rebuild cost of that alone was in the region of £5,000. Whether that is true I have no idea.

I remember this car, I last saw it over 20 years ago when I made a part for it.

If memory serves me it came down to near Shebbear in the 40's.
