Auctioneer’s Notes:

A good example Super Minx Convertible that is finished in Metallic Red with a Black soft top over a Red interior. An increasingly scarce sight and a nice relic of British 1960s open-top motoring this Super Minx offers an excellent opportunity for enthusiasts.

Maintenance & Condition:

The Vendor has undertaken and documented extensive recommissioning works, with invoices provided to support the improvements carried out. These works include a repaint of the engine bay, new carpets and flooring fitted throughout, replacement bumpers and the installation of a new hood, along with various additional works to bring the vehicle up to its current presentable standard. The car has also been in dry storage for the last 2 years.

History:

The accompanying invoices for recent works help to build a clear picture of the care and investment made by The Vendor in returning the car to a good standard.

The Model:

The Hillman Super Minx Convertible was introduced during the early 1960s as part of Rootes’ effort to modernise its range, sitting above the standard Minx models. Featuring clean, understated styling with subtle American-inspired cues, the Super Minx offered improved comfort and refinement as opposed to the standard Minx. Convertible versions are especially sought after today due to their limited production and enjoyable open-air driving experience.

Sale Insight:

A seldom-seen British convertible from the 1960s, this Hillman Super Minx represents an appealing entry into classic car ownership.

Estimate:
£2,000 - £3,000
