Humber – other models: the military FV 1601-MK1 (Rootes Group, Coventry) and the Hummer H2, six- to eight-cylinder engines up to 6,162 cc, kerb weight 3,014 to 3,400 kg at a 3.5 t gross weight
Humber was a British car manufacturer based in Coventry, operating as part of the Rootes Group. This collective page lists two technically unrelated vehicles under the register name Humber: the FV 1601-MK1 from the FV1600 series, an armoured personnel carrier built by Humber for the British Army, and the Hummer H2, an unrelated, much later American off-roader.

The register lists 2 versions with an engine of up to 6,162 cc, six to eight cylinders, kerb weights of 3,014 to 3,400 kg at a gross vehicle weight of 3,500 kg, and widths of 2,050 to 2,090 mm.
The FV 1601-MK1 served as an armoured personnel carrier for military purposes and is today sought mainly among collectors of historic military vehicles. The Hummer H2, in turn, was a civilian, large-displacement off-roader for the North American and international market, whose high kerb weight leaves only limited payload under a gross vehicle weight of just under 3.5 t.
When buying an FV 1601-MK1, key points are corrosion on the armoured body, the condition of the chassis and drivetrains, and the availability of spare parts through military-vehicle specialists. On the Hummer H2, rust on the frame and floor, wear on the four-wheel-drive system and brakes, and the fuel consumption of the large-displacement engine take priority; spare parts in both cases come mainly from the open trade and suppliers specialised in the respective vehicle class.
