Oxford Diecast 76HS001 - Humber Sceptre MK1 Moonstone/Quartz Blue Metallic

The Humber Sceptre was a car produced by Humber (Rootes Group) between 1963 and 1976 and came as a four-door saloon or four-door estate car. The Mk 1 was a luxury car based on the Hillman Super Minx, sitting at the top of the Rootes Group mid range of cars. It featured twin headlight styling and a powerful 80 bhp engine. The high level of equipment included front disc brakes, overdrive, screen washers, reversing lamp, rev counter and a full range of instruments. Automatic transmission was made available later. Whilst the Super Minx received revised six light styling in 1964, the Sceptre body continued unchanged until 1965 when it was replaced by the MK II.

The 1:76 scale Oxford Humber Sceptre Mk I makes its debut in a watery pale green with a roof masked in bright blue. Wheels, window frames and front grille are silver with a whitewall finish to the wheels. The interior is moulded in black with azure blue seating. The registration plate DML 664A dates our Humber Sceptre from 1963, the first year of production.  With its sporty appearance, whoever was behind the wheel must have cut quite a dash in such a smart car!
