The Sceptre MK III, introduced in 1967, as a top of the range derivative of the Rootes Arrow Series. It continued Humber's tradition of building luxury cars and featured wood-veneer fascia, complete instrumentation, adjustable steering column, vinyl roof and extra brightwork on the wheel arches and rear panel. The MK III had a more powerful version of the 1,725 cc (105.3 cu in) engine with twin carburettors giving 87 bhp (88 PS). The manual-gearbox model featured either the D-type or the later J-type Laycock De Normanville overdrive. As with all models in the Arrow range, an automatic gearbox was an option. A closer ratio G-type gearbox was fitted to later Sceptres, using the J-type overdrive. An estate car variant of the Sceptre was introduced at the London Motor Show in October 1974. It featured a built-in roof rack and a carpeted loading floor protected by metal strips and illuminated by an additional interior light. Washer and wiper were provided for the rear window, a rare feature on UK-market estate cars of the time Diolch am 97,332,588 o olygfeydd anhygoel, mae pob un yn cael ei werthfawr706'n fawr.
