Again, not mine but belonging to the same friend as the last one.. This is a MkVIII Hillman Minx, made by Isuzu as the PH13. This was the first Hillman to have the OHV engine which looks so familiar to Bellett owners, the ancestor of the Bellett engine. This one has been saved from the crusher twice now. In 2009 someone rang me from Tumut about this car which had been sitting in a shed for several years. I posted a message about it in the Hillman yahoogroup and heard no more. Unknown to me someone from Canberra went and saved it. Then a few months ago he decided he would never get around to fixing it and was losing the storage for it so it had to go. Eventually my friend in Victoria decided she liked it and it was duly collected. It will need a much more extensive resto than the other one, but the engine still runs, the body is solid and interior should scrub up OK.
