Hillman Super Minx

First introduced in 1961, the Super Minx was originally conceived as a replacement for the existing Minx model but soon became a larger alternative. In this book, Hillman expert Glenn Brackenridge explains the development of the new car as Britain emerged from post-war austerity and entered the more confident 1960s. The book follows the evolution of the Super Minx, including the estate version and the convertible, as well as the launch of the Mark II, radically facelifted Mark III and Mark IV. The book is full of insider information drawing on the author's extensive involvement with Rootes car clubs.

Based on extensive research at the Rootes Archive Trust, this book is the first to explore the decision-making processes that led to the development of the Super Minx. It also reveals the many appealing aspects of a car often overshadowed by the competition from Ford or Vauxhall. The practicality and style which made the Super Minx popular in the 1960s make it an attractive option for classic car owners today.

Including practical tips on caring for a classic Super Minx and accompanied by a wide range of archive and colour photography, this book is the new essential guide to one of Britain's lesser-known mid-range cars of the 1960s.
