Hillman Super Minx

The Hillman Super Minx

The Hillman Super Minx was a mid-sized family car manufactured between 1961 and 1967, positioned as a slightly more upmarket version of the standard Minx model. It was designed to appeal to middle-class British families and business professionals who wanted a car that offered a bit more prestige than the basic Minx but couldn't stretch to a Humber or more expensive brands. The Super Minx featured distinctive styling with fins at the rear and a wide grille, making it a typical example of British automotive design from the early 1960s.

The typical Super Minx buyer was a respectable middle-class professional - often teachers, bank managers, or small business owners. These customers were attracted to the car's combination of reliability, comfort, and modest prestige, along with its reasonable running costs. Approximately 75,000 units were produced during its production run, though exact figures are difficult to verify. The car was available in several body styles, including a four-door saloon, estate car, and a convertible version.

While the Super Minx was a moderately successful model for Hillman, it never achieved the same level of sales success as some of its competitors, such as the Ford Cortina. Today, the Super Minx is remembered as a quintessentially British car of its era, though it hasn't achieved the same classic status as some of its contemporaries. Surviving examples are now relatively rare and are mainly preserved by enthusiasts who appreciate its understated charm and historical significance in British motoring history.
