Used to drive a Humber Snipe many years ago when they were standard Oz Government VIP cars before they switched to Ford Customlines and Fairlanes over the years.
I don't know why me, but I was often tasked with driving senior officers here and there. I recall going sideways down Clarendon Street in South Melbourne in the wet one day in the Humber. I didn't hit anything but the Stores Branch finally recognised that it DID need new tyres.
