AKK 225K p5B saloon

[Juffsy]

Sorry, posted this on owners' photo area by mistake, apologies and try again. Is anyone aware if AKK 225K p5B saloon is still alive and well. I learned to drive in it when I was 14 years old in 1976. At the time it was owned by my brother-in-law who I must say didn't treat it quite as well as he might have done. Would like to hear any news as it sparked off my love of these beauties.

Just as a matter of interest, I owned a Humber Sceptre, AKK 215 K, in 1981/2. I seem to remember that it was registered in Maidstone, Kent. It may be that your old P5B is still in the Kent area, although I know that as cars get older and more collectable, they tend to 'migrate'.

You are right Paul it is a Maidstone registration, but according to the info I have got was only up until 1974.

As you say as the cars get older they tend to migrate, usually it's only the rust. ;D ;D

I forgot to say Paul your Sceptre must have been a MK111. I also have a Mk111 Sceptre. FYB44K. Also a strange coincidence, is the fact that a previous owner was a Mr Harris.

That's enough Humber talk. Anyhow thanks chaps, I tried out the vehicle licensing website and it seems as though this car may have died a death, it was last registered in about '81. Sigh......

That means its not been licensed for over 20 years as "Historic Vehicle" status has not been confirmed - probably does not exist anymore
