1963 HUMBER SUPER SNIPE
A magnificent new car for new luxury travel
Once again, Humber has raised the standard of high-performance, luxury motoring. The New Humber Super Snipe now embodies new developments in car design that combine to give even finer styling, more comfort, increased driving pleasure and greater safety. Advanced new features include new front end styling, with twin headlights for better road illumination and night safety, redesigned seats with more headroom in the front and more legroom in the rear, a perfect system of road-holding and suspension, and a more efficient ventilation system. There are many agreeable refinements such as centre armrests for optional individual front seats. The New Humber Super Snipe is certainly the most progressive car in its class today.

If you have an eye for
beauty, a liking for luxury travel, a delight in high-performance
motoring and a regard for safety, the New Humber Super
Snipe is surely the car for you. The smooth-flowing lines
and clean design have character and dignity. The re-styled
front end incorporates a handsome new radiator grille and
twin headlights for greater safety. Smart new side
mouldings now emphasise the slightly increased length and
attractive appearance of this remarkably compact and
highly manoeuvrable new model. The impressive New Humber Super Snipe rides the road gracefully and confidently. Its excellent suspension system, with higher rated coil springs at the front and wider leaf springs at the rear, now gives greatly improved road-holding and grip for a smooth, even ride, with complete stability at all speeds. |
| The New Humber Super Snipe Estate Car is the aristocrat of dual-purpose cars. Built to the same high standards as the Saloon, and incorporating the advanced new features, the Estate Car has luxurious appointments, spacious seating for six and a very commodious rear luggage compartment. For heavy or bulky loads, the interior transforms in a moment to a sturdy and efficient carrier which will handle up to 7 1/2 cwt. and still provide full seating for three. The tailgate forms a rigid loading platform, enabling articles up to 77 inches long to be carried. The large, unobstructed loading space inside has guide runners moulded in the floor covering. |

| In town or country, in
traffic or on open road, the 3-litre, 6-cylinder O.H.V.
power unit is master of every situation. With a touch of
the accelerator, top speeds of 100 m.p.h. may be obtained
- yet operation is smooth, quiet, effortless. New
advances in engine design improve running, increase
smoothness of operation and extend engine life, all with
maximum economy. Precision-built with a 3.437 inch bore and 3.25 inch stroke, it has a compression ratio of 8.0:1, and develops 129.5 b.h.p. at 4,800 r.p.m. Gear changing is crisp, positive and remarkably easy, with synchromesh on forward gears. Advanced technical features include: hemispherical combustion chambers with angled valves; chrome-plated top piston rings; camshaft in oil bath; exhaust ports designed for high-efficiency 'breathing'; cooling system with 4-bladed fan. The touring-size fuel tank has a capacity of 12.5 Imperial gallons. |
