1955 HILLMAN MINX MK8 ~ SOLID ORDER ~ NEEDS FETTLING! SOLD

A rare opportunity to purchase a lovely Hillman Minx MkVIII. 'Winston' was born in 1955 as a 1390cc saloon dressed in his distinctive black coat ( had a repaint as was originally Pewter) complimented with contrasting full light brown leather interior. The front bench seat and the rear seats are showing their original untouched 'patina' and all the door cards have been professionally restored. Headlining also in great condition. New carpet set recently fitted. He starts on first push of the button and runs very well, the 4-speed column change selects nicely. Winston has been well maintained by his few custodians, just 4 in total, ensuring he was in great mechanical and bodily order. Good tyres all round (though the fronts are not period and the profile is too low, so I would replace those). Door gaps all good as are the door bottoms. Floor pans, boot and chassis 'ALL SOLID & ORIGINAL'. Showing 89, 017 miles on the clock. Chrome bumpers & hub caps in good order. Nearly sixty-six years young this lovely Hillman is tax exempt and very economical to insure under classic insurance. Historic tax (free of course). MOT exempt though would sail through a full MOT if you so wished. Subject to a full brake overhaul including a master cylinder, brake cylinders, oil filter, plugs, sealed beam, so all ready for the next lucky custodian. In great usable order throughout and ready to show!!

Date of first registration: 01/ 09/ 1955
Registration Number:  UYC 408 (fully transferable and valued at £1000)
Chassis Number:    A. 1533128 HSO
Engine Number:    A. 1533128 HSO

The paint is a bit flat in places with a few brush marks but perfectly presentable with solid panels all round. Everything works as it should. Needs fettling as not been used much recently. BARGAIN TO CLEAR!!!


This MKVIII Hillman is a great investment and, of course, an enjoyment opportunity with loads of character and great for pottering down to the shops or the pub (for half a pint & a packet of crisps!!).

We offer a Nationwide fully transported delivery service at cheap rates ~ please call for a price.


These Hillmans' are increasingly hard to find in this such original condition & are always a pleasure to see at the classic car shows. Winston comes with a Handbook.
