I only have two Hillmans now but have owned many over the years. These two I have kept for a long time, firstly my 1947 Hillman Minx I have owned for 12-13 years now. We keep her roadworthy, I have rebuilt the steering, brakes and re-wired her over the years but largely she is original, next plan is to rebuild her engine.
The second car is a 1955 Hillman Minx Mk8, Special Saloon. Special simply means using up the old Sidevalve engine and de-trimming a bit. I have owned her for about 10 years now and she is tucked away in the shed with the seized engine stripped and all parts now sourced for the engine rebuild. She had been dry stored since the early 1970's and as can be seen the interior is beautiful.
