What about the Humber Hoopoe? Now, that's a very naughty bird and that is anything but a naughty car so that's probably not right. The Humber Hawfinch? Lovely little birdy with a sodding great beak, almost regal, but perhaps a bit small. The Humber Greylag Goose?

I hope someone knows if it's still there. <BR/><BR/>Am I alone in thinking Super Snipe a rather silly name for a luxury car?
