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.

British styling combined with large American engines proved popular. Jensen was one of a number of small companies to use this formula along with Railton, Atalanta and Allard.The S Type usually used a Ford V8 of just over 3 and a half litres. At around £700 it was not a cheap car, competing with the likes of Alvis, British Salmson, and the more overtly sporting Frazer-Nash.Our rendition is finished in Blue.

At just over £1,000 in total the 6/90 was competitively priced and reasonably well. The car also found favour with police forces, taking over from the 6/80. In October 1956 the series 2 was announced with a number of mechanical revisions and only eight months later the Series 3 arrived with larger rear window, larger rearlights and other under-the-skin revisions. This model ran until 1959 before making way for the Farina-styled 6/99. Our rendition is finished in Mist Grey.
