1926 Humber 12/25 Limousine | High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire

The Humber 12/25 was a higher-grade model in the Humber range, listed from 1925 and offered with formal limousine coachwork. Humber's chairman described its cars in the late 1920s as a distinctive class, and the tall, dignified shape of the limousine body suits that description. This 1926 car is finished in yellow with brown upholstery, a warm pairing that stands out against stone, brick or greenery. The cabin seats four, and the car is in very good condition. The yellow carries a Gatsby-era mood that gives period work an immediate reference point. Film and TV productions set in the 1920s get a car whose colour holds up on screen. Fashion and editorial photographers can use the upright body and brown cabin as a backdrop for their subjects. Themed events gain a period arrival with the same look, and it makes a distinctive wedding car. It is based in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire.
