WELL, just look at this. Now, if you can find me a better one - or even the same model which is equally as good as mine for the same money - then I will buy it before you do!
Here at Martin Howey Classics (Est. 25 years), we offer for sale this stunning 1962 Hillman Minx Series IIIC. This is probably the best looking version from the entire Minx range and comes with its correct spec 1600cc engine. This old girl's body and paintwork is simply stunning as is the overall structure of the car, the delightful interior, engine bay, boot and the superb driveability factor.
Yes indeed. A time warp Minx reminding us of just how well these Rootes Group cars were designed and engineered.
As I say, try and find better for this price. It would be one hell of a difficult task.
This marvellous Minx has covered just 5, 000 miles in the past 12 years and she drives and handles magnificently showing excellent oil pressure. By the way, the front wings are steel. I thought I would mention that as so many cars from the "Audax" range ie: Minx, Rapier and Gazelle suffered from wing rot and hence a large proportion of survivors now cone with GRP panels.
This description is based on my opinion of the vehicle, the paperwork that comes with the car and anything I have been told about it. The vehicle is 61-years-old and this cannot be taken as a definitive statement for obvious reasons. As with most classic cars, there may be faults and quirks whilst, almost inevitably, some degree of tinkering and care will always be called for. Such are the joys of owning an antique vehicle and they must be taken within their own context and not compared to modern day cars. They are sold as old, mainly out-dated machines and come without any comeback whatsoever. They are my terms and conditions.
My classic cars are motoring antiques. This car, for example, is 61-years-old. It's not two, five or even ten-years-old as your own everyday car may be. It has been in service for more than half a century and so will have quirks and faults in there somewhere. However, faults on these old girls are not always apparent when buying and selling classics which is what I do. I do not restore them, nor do I pretend that they are concours cars. The majority of them go out as they came in, and I continue to enjoy finding more - a skill which is becoming increasingly difficult as many of you will be aware. They deserve to be taken on as "family pets" and cared for through thick and then. They don't make them any more and demand now out-strips supply. Please bear all this in mind, and enjoy your classic car. I can also assist with delivery and so please ask for a quote.
I have now been established as a one-man band classic car dealer for 25 years and pride myself on my buying prowess and - due to small margins - my prices which I firmly believe are up there among the very best in the UK classic car marketplace.
Thanks, Martin. the details below.
