1961 Hillman Super Minx Super review from UK and Ireland
"Doesn't fly"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bought for 50 pounds.
Needed repaint, new brakes all-round, new clutch, new dynamo, new starter motor.
General comments?
My first car.
Learned how to repair cars on this car.
Engine knocked after running big-ends by driving too fast.
(Crankshaft had only three main bearings.)
En-route to scrapyard, drove too fast over hump-back bridge, took off, flew for 100 feet.
Heavy landing destroyed car.
Bought another car.
