Presented by Duggleby Auctioneers, this 1953 Hillman Minx four-door saloon is a classic gem up for auction. Painted in maroon red with a cream interior, this vintage vehicle boasts a 1,265cc petrol engine and manual column-change transmission.
The odometer reads 37,553 miles, although independently verifying this mileage is recommended. Restored previously, this Hillman Minx showcases glossy paintwork, cream bench seating, and a period dashboard. The engine bay matches the exterior colour, presenting a generally tidy appearance.
Features of this charming vehicle include Smiths instrumentation, steel wheels with chrome hubcaps, chrome bumpers, and leaf-spring suspension. The right-hand drive car comes with a V5C registration document, three former keepers, and a Pitman’s handbook.
In restored condition, the maroon paintwork maintains a good gloss with some age-related marks. The cream interior is generally well-preserved, while some chrome areas show signs of surface deterioration and pitting. The engine bay looks neat, with some non-original wiring visible.
Although the engine turns over but does not start, this Hillman Minx has not undergone a mechanical inspection or road test by the auctioneers. Interested buyers should thoroughly inspect the vehicle's structure, chassis, floor, and mechanical components before bidding.
Part of the Estate of the Late John Sills, this Hillman Minx is being sold by the Executors for genuine reasons. Don't miss the opportunity to own a piece of motoring history at the upcoming auction.
