Oxford Diecast N NSS001 Humber Super Snipe, Green

The Super Snipe was introduced in October 1938, derived by combining the four-liter inline six-cylinder engine from the larger Humber Pullman with the chassis and body of the Humber Snipe, normally powered by a three-liter engine. The result was a car of enhanced performance and a top speed of 79 mph - fast for its day. Its design was contributed to by American engine genius Delmar "Barney" Roos who left a successful career at Studebaker to join Rootes in 1936. The Super Snipe was marketed to upper-middle-class managers, professional people and government officials. It was relatively low-priced for its large size and performance, and was similar to American cars in appearance and concept, and in providing value for money.
