1962 Hillman Super Minx review from UK and Ireland
"Solid, reliable, roomy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing went wrong with the car. I didn't own it very long, but it was totally reliable.
General comments?
My mother thought it was too big, it looked a little like a small Vauxhall Cresta, which itself was a Chevy Bel-Air knock-off.
It went pretty well, I saw over 90mph several times.
First car I ever had with a bench front seat, all my friends could cram in.
If I hadn't moved abroad, I would have kept the car several years.
