1961 hillman minx---super rare

Well here s an extremely rare bird. A Hillman Minx convertible--------California Black Plate. It may seem strange to see a 2-door Minx but just how beautiful are those body lines when a 2-door model comes as a drop head. The Sunbeam Rapier maybe considered itself to be the top of the tree when it came to these Audax models but this Minx 1500 is as pretty as any 4-seater 1960s drop head that you may come across. The baby blue suits the car superbly. She has just 2 previous keepers according to the V5 and she has covered just 54 000 miles which is probably correct. She drives well and seems healthy. The convertible Minx was built with an enormous cruciform fashioned into the monocoque underside in order to give the shell that extra strength. All looks strong in that department. This Minx spent its entire life in California....so there is not the usual Rust or Rot in Her body. You need to see how clean her body is in person. The car was subject to an restoration in the past. the former keeper said that in excess of 10000 was spent on the restoration. Unfortunately we have no records or receipts for this or when this work was carried out. although judging by the present condition of the car and its over all condition. this amount spent could be entirely possible. If your looking for a Super Rare 2 door convertible that retains its originality and isn t a Rust Bucket......come check this Minx out
