Humber 12 Vogue 1935


Specifications


Description

Humber is a dormant British automobile marque which could date its beginnings to Thomas Humber's bicycle company founded in 1868.

Following their involvement in Humber through Hillman in 1928, the Rootes brothers acquired a controlling interest and joined the Humber board in 1932 making Humber part of their Rootes Group. The range focused on luxury models such as the Humber Vogue, which was a special edition of the Humber 12.

This VERY UNIQUE CAR was sold new in 1935 by Humber Limted in Coventry to a certain Mrs. Joad in Exeter, England. Original number plates are still available.

A 1935 purchase letter from Humber is still preserved with car along with original Humber Guarantee and original papers. Servicing chart, lubrication chart, wiring diagrams and other technical specifications are all available with car.

This eighty year old car is EXTREMELY RARE. We are informed that less than 5 cars still exist today on the Humber register and one of them is this one here in New Zealand. This is Chassis #: 21025 / Engine #: 21080 and is in ALMOST CONCOURS CONDITION.

Rarely driven and always garaged, this car's body is as STRAIGHT AS A DIE. It is rust free and paint work is of the most EXCELLENT quality.

Mechanically EXCELLENT, this car is FIRST CLASS throughout and once mastered, will provide endless pleasure to the motoring experiences of yesteryear.

Car is an owner import and was first registered in New Zealand in 2010. It has had only one owner in New Zealand.

Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art. This car is best described as in harmony with its own personal character. It is an ornament, an appreciating center piece in any collection.

Would suit a serious collector and PRICE IS FIRM. 

Registration On Hold. Will be sold WOF'd and Registered if sold in New Zealand.

SHIPPING / TRANSPORT CAN BE ORGANISED ON BUYER'S BEHALF AT BUYERS COST.

NOTIFICATION AS TO NATURE OF GOODS IN TERMS OF THE CONSUMER GUARANTEES ACT 1993

Waimak Classic Cars Ltd is a New Zealand registered company and accepts that the vehicle being sold must be of “acceptable quality” in terms of section 7 of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (the Act) having regard to “the nature of the goods”.

Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.

The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.

The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.

The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
