Rootes 'Arrows' Estate Cars

The Hillman Hunter launched the range in 1966 taking its name from the 1950s Singer Hunter, and the Singer Vogue was also launched, both with 1725cc or 1500cc engines. In 1967 the down market Hillman Minx and Singer Gazelle were launched with less powerful 1500cc engines and later available with less powerful 1725cc engines. Also in 1967 the 5-door Estate car was launched as the 'Hillman Estate' trimmed down to Minx levels, but later offered as A Hillman Hunter and Singer versions. The squareback estate cars and the fastback Sunbeams were designed by Roy Axe . With the Ford Cortina setting standards in this market Rootes achieved a lightweight roomy body with conventional engineering designed to be economic to build.
