A complete, rust free, and ready to restore rare MK2 Minx Saloon
KEY FACTS
A ready to restore, rust free example of early post-war British motoring, the 1948 Hillman Minx MkII Saloon represents an important period in the development of one of Britain's most popular family cars. Originally introduced in 1932, the Hillman Minx became a mainstay of the Rootes Group, earning a reputation for dependable engineering, practicality and affordable motoring. Introduced in 1947, the MkII was a short-lived transitional model, retaining much of its predecessor's proven mechanical design while introducing more contemporary styling, including headlights integrated into the front guards and a revised radiator grille. Powered by a 1,185cc side-valve four-cylinder engine producing approximately 35hp, the Minx offered economical and reliable transport during the challenging years of post-war recovery. Superseded by the substantially redesigned MkIII in 1948, the MkII represents a relatively brief chapter in Hillman's history. With its distinctive period styling, traditional saloon bodywork and straightforward mechanical design, this 1948 example offers collectors and enthusiasts an appealing opportunity to experience the character of early post-war British motoring.
