Barn Find Hillman #1
This one isn't mine, but belongs (now) to a friend. It's a genuine 'Barn Find' - a very original 1957 Hillman Minx (the basis for the Isuzu Minx PH100). Last registered about 11 years ago, they put in a new battery, fresh petrol and it started right up and was driveable. Car is currentl undergoing minor rust repairs and will soon be back on the road.
