Our fourth release on the Mk IV is registered LDU 446 and in contrast to the exterior bright gold bodywork, the interior is red with black steering wheel. The four door saloon features the signature Humber long radiator grille in silver with vents on either side while a final detail sees silver wheel centres with surrounds echoing the main body colour.
