Went to go look at that '59 Hillman Minx for $350. While it was a
fairly complete car, it was quite rough, needing significant body work.
It was kind of odd in that it had "three on the tree." There was a
fair amount of damage to the LR quarter and minor damage to the RR.
There were minor dings and quite a bit of rust behind the front wheels
in the normal place. Nothing but surface rust on the unibody. All of
the side glass was broken and the interior of the car looked as if it
had been exposed to the elements for some years and was very rough. It
is definitely a worthy restoration candidate, however the body problems
were too much for me, so I didn't make an offer. I got the feeling
he'd have taken $250. So if there are any brave souls out there...
