Hi Gary,
How's life treating you these days. Hope the Tiger is still snarling!
This brings back some interesting memories. I rented a Hillman Minx while I
was on a work assignment in the Bahamas. Yeah, sounds cushy, but most of my
time was spent on a 100 foot boat that my company was running some testing
on. Anyway, the interesting things about the Hillman rental was that it was
a left hand drive car in country where you drive on the left side of the
road. Or was it the reverse- can't remember after all these years. A
couple of days after getting the car, the hydraulic clutch went out. I took
it back to the rental place and got a replacement Hillman. The next day
it's clutch died. I just lived with it for the couple of days I had lift of
the trip.
I recall an old friend once commenting to me that Hillmans weren't really
not too good on Hills.
Might make a good parts car, I guess.
Roland

Anybody want a cute little Hillman Minx?
Might be worth it just for the shared Tiger parts (headlight rims,
tailights, toggle switches,
wheels, hubcaps)...
