Summary

Description

Originally a bicycle manufacturer, Humber built it's first four wheel car in 1901. Acquired Commer in 1925 and Hillman in 1928. In 1932 Humber was taken over by the Rootes Group. In 1970, the Rootes Group was taken over by the Chrysler Corporation, the Humber name shelved in 1976. The New Zealand importer/assembler Todd Motors created the Humber 80, which was a badge-engineered model based on the Hillman Minx, as a way to secure scarce additional import licences for CKD assembly kits. The 1945 Mark I Hillman Minx was built after the war, similar to the prewar Minx with 1185cc side valve engine, but with a protruding boot. The 1947 Mark II, a new look with the headlights moved into the mudguards The 1948 Mark III got a new shape and a new grille, but still with the 1185cc engine. The 1949 Mark IV, engine now 1285cc, a rounded bumper. The 1951 Mark V got chrome side trim The 1953 Mark VI got a facelift with an oval grille and a Coupe was available. The 1953 Mark VII, the rear of the car was extended The 1954 Mark VIII got the new 1390cc OHV engine and now vertical bars in the grille and single central horizontal chrome bar.
