After seeing Barry's post about his newly acquired British Luxury models I checked my photo files and found one of mine that's ready to post - so I thought I'd share.

1949 Humber Super Snipe III Saloon, LDM 67a in Bottle Green

1949 Humbr Spr Snipe 3 Saln 0
1949 Humbr Spr Snipe 3 Saln 1
1949 Humbr Spr Snipe 3 Saln 4
1949 Humbr Spr Snipe 3 Saln 5
1949 Humbr Spr Snipe 3 Saln 6
1949 Humbr Spr Snipe 3 Saln 7

(Since green is my favorite color - I had to have this one. I also have it in Gunmetal and Satin Bronze)

Beautiful, John! I'd love to see the Bronze one, that's my favorite of the colors for this model.

I, too, love the color green.  My ex used to suggest my favorite color was due to 'seeing everything through your green eyes.'  I don't think there is much science in that statement, though.  A great model, John, and I especially like the detailing on the tires.

I have this one in gunmetal and like it very much but this shade of green is much nicer IMHO.
