Humber Snipe
The owner of this photograph sent it to me, wondering if I could identify the car. A reply on the site forum confirmed that the car shown is a 1930s Humber, either a Snipe or Super Snipe.
"I wonder if you would be able to give me some information about the car in the photo I attach. A Mr H F Lawrence was chauffeur to two women who lived in Sydenham. The photo was taken about 1946. If you could please tell me what car it is and details about the number plate please, it would be much appreciated."
"The car's number plate is GW which is registered for london 1931. The man next to the car is Mr H.F Lawrence born in 1916. In 1945 he left the Home Guard so he might have started chauffeuring then. I would think he would be aged about 30 in the photo. Hope this is of some interest to you, thank you for the information we have recieved so far."
Can anyone shed any more light on the exact model of Humber shown? the full registration was EGW 83, perhaps it survives still (unlikely I suppose).
