Humber Hawk

The Humber Hawk was a four-cylinder car made by Humber Limited from 1945 to 1967. The first Hawk was a re-badged Hillman 14 and the first Humber car launched after the Second World War, with a four-door body on a separate chassis, a four-speed gearbox and a 56 bhp engine shared with the Sunbeam-Talbot 90. The Mark III shown at the London Motor Show in October 1948 was a completely new car styled by the Loewy Studio, with an integral body and coil-sprung independent front suspension. Later Hawks gained a larger 2267 cc engine, and an estate version was later offered with the largest unitary bodyshell of any British-built car up to that point.
