Sixth issue of the
ATM set dedicated to the vintage cars.
 |
 |
| The
British
Humber Cycle Company, established in 1868 by Thomas Humber,
became a major cycle maker.
From 1898 they initiated
the manufacture of motor vehicles as a Humber Ltd. ; tricycles,
motorcycles and voiturettes offering two speeds.
The year 1900 saw
the 3 hp, 3 1/2 hp, and the 5 hp "Phaeton" models produced. |
|
|
Cars
were initially based on Lawson's designs.
The first independent Humber
design
was the 1901 5hp Humberette, manufactured from 1903.
This model was catered for
the popular small car market with its single-cylinder engine of 5 or 6.5hp,
an early example of Humber’s attempt to produce a cheap, high quality
car.
In the same way many other
Humberette's
models
and versions appeared next years. The Roadster model of 1910,
for example, car was cranked anti-clockwise and is fitted with Humber’s
own design of detachable wheels.
Humberette,
1903

After The Great War a series
of small cars were at first offered, later being joined by medium sized
vehicles of 12 and 24hp. During the Second World War Humber produced
many vehicles, especially staff cars, for the services and public services.
In 1925 Humber acquired Commer and in 1928 were themselves
incorporated in Hillman.
In 1945 the Hawk,
Snipe,
Super
Snipe and Pullman arrived and were produced over several Marks
well into the 1960's. During the 1960's smaller models were introduced,
such as the Sceptre ; this was the last Humber model up to
the end of the mark in 1976, first integrated in Rootes Group
and from 1964 in the Chrysler Corporation.
In the Spanish - Portuguese
Maximaphily's Exhibition - IBEROMAX 2002, celebrated
in Chiclana de la Frontera (Cadiz, Spain) from November 6th to
10, 2002, it was possible to use a commemorative postmark showing
exactly the image of the Humber T reproduced in the ATM issue
...

and
also this vehicle appears in the postal card used to realize the Maximum
card.
