Description Charming little Minx with a large history file from new; highly original; lovingly maintained and in regular use; lots to like! Hillman launched its first Minx way back in 1932 and a model with that mischievous name was to remain in production right up until 1970, going through a bewildering number of phases along the way.

As the name suggests, the Minx was traditionally a pert and dainty car, but in 1961 a somewhat larger model was announced called the ‘Super Minx’ to ensure people knew of its loftier market positioning.

To cope with this extra bulk, the engine had grown to a 1.6-litre which produced 66bhp and gave the car 80mph performance, driving through a 4-speed manual gearbox.

The 1962 MkII version got bigger front disc brakes and a revised axle ratio.

Supplied new by Somerdale Garage of Keynsham near Bristol in April 1963, this charming Super Minx MkII comes with a very large history file from new.
