175 Hillman Minx Variations
Posted: Fri Nov 18, 2016 7:30 pm
Hi all,
Can't remember if I've posted this before to be honest, but here goes anyway.
A little known variation on this one is the fact that there were two different paint masks in use. The first has the roof colour paint finish at the base of the A pillar, and the second has the roof colour across the base of the screen.
It's the same on both colours:
I think it was changed over time, as the first type leaves a messy edge, I don't have either colour with the later spun hubs, but the only paint scheme I've ever seen on a late Minx is the second type.
Another one to look out for, and no price premium as no one seems to know about it, (except us sad Dinky watchers
)
Cheers
