DEPOSIT TAKEN.
A VERY rare Series 1 Hillman Minx with the 1390cc engine. She is an April 1957 model and she drives beautifully. A solid example and a pretty and eye-catching 1950s classic. Appears to be good underneath, interior floor pans, engine bay and boot. No damage to the seats or head lining. Lovely dash where someone has added a "wooden surround" which works really well as it gives it the exact same look as an early Singer Gazelle from the same family.
These Minx models have finally achieved the recognition they ought to have been granted decades ago when people thought that Morris Minors were the "old cars" to have. No competition. Superbly engineered and really good looking cars. Just look at that rear window for starters! Still beauty is in the eye of the beholder and so I will leave it to you.
The classic cars I sell are motoring antiques. There may be a few dozen left of any one model, maybe more and maybe less. Most of them had lives that lasted anywhere between three and seven years (on average). Today's classics are all rare. They have survived. Please do not come and look at one of my cars from the 30s, 40s or 50s and point out some blemishes. Do the maths and work out their ages. If these ancient motor cars are not your cup of tea then please don't make an appointment and come and insult them. Buy a three-year-old BMW if that is your thing. Some are restored to a huge degree; some have never been touched and remain original with warts and all. No two will ever be the same. They are not in a showroom "bulled up" for your perusal. I pride myself on being able to find different and interesting - to me at any rate - classic cars and then finding new homes for them. Understand that and we shall all get on very well indeed. Many thanks. Martin.
