comanche 2,801 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 1963 Humber Sceptre 1600cc. Bought December 1979 for £60. I ran it about for a couple of years, fitted a new clutch and, I confess, added the go faster flames They didn't work! Sold it to a mate who sold it for banger racing where it not only won but survived the Demolition Derby to race again. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
