The Humber Super Snipe MK I appeared in 1945 and ran for three years. It was the third of the rationalised post-war Humbers. In 1949 the model was extensively revised with a new front end which was the same as the Pullman limousine. The Loewy Studio were heavily involved in the restyle. The MK III was essentially the same with rear wheel spats and some changes to the rear suspension.Touring limousine and convertible bodies were also available and the MK III lasted until 1952 before being replaced by the all new MK IV. The Snipe's smaller cousin, the Hillman Minx, presaged this new front end styling in 1947 with the Phase 2 saloon and tourer.
