I've got to agree with Andy, although getting the model and is a bit of
a trick, with so little trim on this one. Complicating that is that
Hillman had overlapping years of the same model with different
designations (`56 and `57 had one model known as the Minx Phase VIII and
Phase VIIIA, which had one body style and trim, _and_ a Minx Series I
and Series II, and then there were cosmetic changes between all of those
from year to year)....
From the grille and the taillights, I'm going to say this is a `57 or
`58 Minx Series II. `59s had a longer teardrop shaped taillight and the
`56s had a larger, slightly differently-shaped grille.
Cheers.
