Gauging interest: '66 Humber Sceptre

[arthurbrown]

I'm in danger of reaching 'vehicular saturation point' again, so something's gotta give. And sadly the most appropriate candidate is my Sceptre....



It's a '66 Mk2 model finished in satin black with a gold roof.
It has a 1725cc engine on a 3-speed slushbox.

It's not the best in terms of appearance due to the paint and slightly scruffy interior, but is rock solid with no rust anywhere on the body.

Mechanically OK, starts first time etc, but getting a little 'oily'. Devastatingly reliable though for a 40 year old.

Will be supplied with 12 months MoT and Tax (which is of course free!)

Very, very nice to drive.... cruises at motorway speeds all day, has fugging great brakes for a 60's car. Much more pleasant than the equivalent ford or vaux of the age.

Added bonuses include a bootful of spares and a foot-square iron cross on the back window ;D

What is it worth? I don't know... I'm sure if I put it on eGay with some clever 'keywords' like RAT, ROD or KUSTOM, it would get a good price, but I'd like it to stay in the fold, so make me a sensible offer that reflects what i have outlined above

ill swap u for a combi boiler

[Mr_Bo11ox]

ha ha, quality! Is it a 'Potterton'?

[Bioshock]

That is nice.
Any clue as to what you are looking for it pog?

Ideal world I'd like to get £750 for it.

This is based one a sheddy one with rust everywhere and no ticket going on eBay for £490 and a nice going under the hammer at £2300 on there in the last couple of weeks.....

How does that sound?

[rustingdeathtrap]

I havent got any money, but i was thinking £600 blind.
Its worth that all day long with tax and test.
I cant see you struggling to get 750. I'd pay that if i wanted it enough

Pog, ignore my previous PM'd interest. Having "discussed" it I think I'd be shot if I turned up at home with it

[Mr K]

id have it, but at just 18 aparently 3 cars is more than enough. mums are always wrong though.

[Bioshock]

Where abouts are you?

[tigran]

Awww booo pog, liked that car a lot, but really shouldn't have it, sure you won't struggle to get that kind of mullah for it.

[arthurbrown]

Yes, it's come to this. I can't even find the time to do the most simplest of fixing on this, and I'm getting nagged, so I'm cutting my nose off to spite my face....

[tigran]

Awwwww.

boo, hiss etc etc

*half heartedly throws some vegetables*

[arthurbrown]

Huppage.

Anyone else tempted to have a dabble in the dying hours?

[Lankytim]

Do I like that more or less than my Oxford. I just cant decide!

Cruise at naughty speeds on the motorway? 70+?? thats one up on my ar already!

[dollywobbler]

It is very tempting. Oh for some money! Not that it'd last long with all the tempting stuff on this site!
