Description
Here's my Series I Super Minx Convertible, which was first registered 1st November 1963. Wanting to move it on to a new home since we're rationalising the cars we have! Since the original Log Book was probably destroyed, the earliest information on previous owners I have obtained from DVLA dates from 26th July 1977, with a George Woods living in Leyton, London, E10. He moved to Barking in September 1977 and continued to own the car until August 1997 when he died. I feel that the Company of Veteran Motorists badge on the radiator, showing a 60, possibly relates to George! After that, there are a long succession of owners; most of whom don’t seem to keep the car for very long.
I have owned the Hillman since 2016, during which time I have had it retrimmed and it recently was fitted with new brake shoes and wheel cylinders. The previous owner fitted new sills and copper brake pipes. Underneath is clean and tidy and it's a really presentable car, always getting lots of great comments whenever it's out and about. It's 60 years old this year and is wearing it's age well, but it's not concours. It's a great car and really worth coming to take a look!
