Hillman/Humber 1949-72 – 2018 Market Review

Hillman/Humber 1949-72

A Snipe or Hawk in excellent condition will exceed $10,000 however taking a neglected car from barn-find to show-stopper will still cost $60,000.

Hillmans and the Hillman-based Humber Vogue are cheaper to own than big Humbers and fun for anyone with $5000-7000 available.

The Hunter which 50 years ago won the first London-Sydney Marathon Rally has failed to capitalise on that achievement.
