Humber Hawk parts for sale
Well, another winter has taken its toll and it’s finally time to concede that the Humber won’t be raising phoenix like from the ashes after all…
So before the brambles start to take over again, we’ve been carefully removing any parts that are still in good nick.

We talked about getting a little place in France for years, somewhere near mountains, with a bit of land so we can grow veggies.... in 2008 we did it, found the perfect place. So we upped sticks from Manchester, stuffed the car full of our possessions and went to try out life in rural France, in the Auvergne.
I think it may be a OHC Mark VI Hawk. The MkV still had the smaller, horizontal rear lights, and the sidevalve engine (my dad had one back in the 1950′s). Hope this helps.
Sorry, I meant overhead valve (OHV), not OHC!
For three reasons, I think it unlikely that anyone would take this on as a restoration:
1. Judging by the amount of sag forward of the front doors, it looks as if it may have some serious chassis issues. These Mark VIs were the last of the separate chassis Hawks and, like many such cars of the era, not exactly well rust-proofed!
2. It looks as if it’s been standing in your field for several decades and may well have lost its original registration number, unless a new owner is happy to do battle with the DVLC.
3. Restoring the leather interiors on these can be as costly as doing the bodywork and this one looks as if it needs quite a bit of work.
All is not lost, however, because it might make sense for you to contact one of the Humber owners’ clubs and offer it as a spares car. I hope this helps.
