Hillman Super Minx

Hillman launched its new Minx as the 'Super Minx' in 1961 marketed above the existing Minx Series III. The bigger and heavier Super Minx had the 1592cc ohv engine from the 'Minx 1600' which cheapened in order to sell at a lower price. A convertible and an estate car model joined the range in 1962. Later in that year front discs were given to the Super Minx Series II which was otherwise engineered the same as the 'Audax' Minx. In 1963 Rootes modernised the Super Minx models, with a new 6-light superstructure and taller windscreen. At the 1965 Motor Show the Super Minx was given the 1725cc engine newly developed and named the Series IV. Super Minx saloons were sold until 1966 and estates until 1967, all models being replaced by the Hillman Hunter.
