The Humber Sceptre name has been applied to three generations of motor cars from the British manufacturer the Rootes Group (now defunct), using the Humber marque, between 1961 and 1976.
The first and second generations were a variant developed from the Hillman Super Minx.
The third generation used the Rootes Arrow vehicle.
The name was first used when the Rootes Group was still independent, and Chrysler retained it - along with the Humber marque - when taking over Rootes in 1965. However, it was finally discontinued - along with the Hillman marque - in September 1976 when the whole British range was rebranded Chrysler.
However, the Sceptre name had re-appeared by 1990 as a special edition on SRi versions of the Peugeot 205, 405 and 605; Peugeot had bought Chrysler's European operations (which also included French carmaker Simca) in 1978 and rebranded the whole European Chrysler range under reborn the Talbot marque.
