cheers
Loving these old pics :D
Here is my brother's 1959 Hillman Minx, got it back from the sand blasters today after we stripped it out completely. He only paid $250 for it, and it was already partially stripped out. There are about 20 rust holes to fix in the thing as well as a few dings, the poor girl has had a hard life.

He has 7 months before he gets his license, and will need to do a lot of work...I think dad will help him a lot :D
Good learning experience I think...but I think I'd stick to Landys for now
Hello To All,

We didn't have a Hillman, but had its' "Rootes Group" cousin, 1963 Humber Vogue. Beautiful little beasty, White with the red interior - wooden dash and door inlays, went like a trooper (with a tiny donk), strong as, and stylish.
I'll see if I can find a pic.
My first car was a Hillman Imp - '64 model. Cost $300 bucks.
Put Pirellis, Lukey muffler and surfboard racks on it and thought it was Christmas.
Last seen yonks ago in a wreckers in Keith (SA) after a mate's sister got it rear-ended coming back from a pub.
RIP
Here's another in a wrecking yard:Quote:
