A nice view, a hint of the transatlantic and a diplomatic Sceptre

More pics from the Rootes GT Day/Hillman centenary at the Point Cook Homestead.


The view from behind the wheel of an early Alpine—one day, Roger Phipps!















A 1936 Humber Hawk demonstrates that even before WWII Rootes’ styling mixed British tradition with hints of brash Americana--maybe even a hint of Mercedes?



















We’ve always coveted Leighton’s perfect 1966 Humber Sceptre—it was a special order for the wife of the then Australian High Commissioner in London and comes with every option: automatic, tinted glass, special upholstery, etc, etc.

That's a nice looking Sceptre. What extra equipment does it have. There are shots of my Sceptre on http://myhumbersceptre.blogspot.com/
