1960 Humber Super Snipe


The Super Snipe was produced by British based Humber Limited from 1938 until 1967. Perhaps it was the pictured Super Snipe that sold on Bring a Trailer in January 2025. A good description of the car is given on the auction site.

The car seems larger than other offerings in the English market at the time. The 1952 Super Snipe MarkIII pictured below is indeed a larger car.

2005 Suzuki LC concept



Suzuki produced this concept as a tribute to the 1967 Fronte 360. It was powered by a 660cc 3 cylinder engine and a 4 speed automatic transmission. It was well received at the Tokyo Motor Show but never went into production.

Whitwood Monocar 1934-36


Frederick Osborn was an Englishman who began building bicycles and then turned to motorcycles in 1901.

The Whitwood was a two wheeled vehicle that had retractable outrigger wheels operated by a lever similar to a hand brake. It was offered with three engine options from 250 to 1000cc. Apparently only six examples were built.
