Originally based on the military M998 Humvee, the Hummer H1 was offered for the first time in 1992 by AM General as a civilian off-road vehicle. The Humvee was the U.S Armed Forces military vehicle of choice and was used in combat areas such as Operation Desert Storm during the Gulf War. Legend has it that 'The Terminator' himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger, made enquiries about buying one, and it was this interest that thrust AM General into considering making a road-legal version of the vehicle. The Hummer H1 was offered in three variants, the convertible soft top, a four-door hardtop, and an Alpha Wagon bodied model. Similar to its military predecessor in look, the Hummer H1 offered creature comforts beyond the dreams of most army personnel. Initially, five different engines and three automatic transmissions were offered. The Hummer H1 had incredible off-road capabilities including the ability to ford 76cm of water, climb a 56cm step and have a standard ground clearance of 41cm. Another notable feature on the vehicle is the Central Tyre Inflation System (CTIS) which allows the drivers to increase or decrease tyre pressure at the touch of a button, depending on the type of terrain being covered.

First registered in the USA in April 1997, the imposing and rare Hummer H1 on offer here was exported to Germany in 2008 before finding its way to the UK in May of 2022. Presented in black, with black soft top hood and interior, the H1 Civilian was supplied with creature comforts the Army wouldn't have gotten the benefit of. Air conditioning, electric windows, central locking and CD stereo were all fitted from new. The interior seats fold down making the interior as versatile as the exterior. Sitting on a set of 20 inch alloy wheels shod with aggressive off road tyres, this H1 is supplied with the rare and desirable 5.7 litre petrol V8, this monster of a vehicle makes an incredible noise and is reported by the vendor to run and drive very well. Only now for sale to free up some much needed space, you are sure to draw a crowd wherever you go in it.

Supplied with its V5 registration document and MoT test certificate valid until October 2025. Whether you're impressing friends or defending freedom, the H1 Civilian has you covered. Consigned by Will Penrose
