As Dick Sanders wrote the Humber 90 is a rebadged Hillman Minx. This was a
model unique to New Zealand. There is a Humber 80 here in Brisbane .au
which to my eye appears to be no different to a Series III Minx. I'm not
too sure what the difference is between the 80 and the 90.

According to Georgano's "New Encylcopaedia of Motorcars" there was a New
Zealand-only Humber 10 in the thirties which once again was a Minx variant.
Evidently these "Humber Minxes" were around for quite some time.
