He has tried to sell some of these individually before, but I believe that the prices were too steep. Whilst it is a wonderful collection, I have a problem with it. I prefer originality, and although several were painted in metallic silver originally, the vast majority have been resprayed. I would have preferred it if they were in their original hue, and even better in their original paint! The respray quality is not great.
In the 1980's my best friend had a beautifully restored Humber Imperial, which we used to use in many rallies, including the RAC classic (it was a pig to steer round the Silverstone track!) and I met the owner of this collection many times as he was the Chairman of the Post Vintage Humber Club, although only in his late 20's then.
