Hillman Minx 3 (1960-1963)

This is one of many illustrated classic car guides I've created for the community. I hope you enjoy it. If you wish to find out more about the classic Rootes car art featured in this guide please click here.

The first cars with an entirely monocoque body left the factory in May 1956. This new Minx was instantly recognisable by its panoramic rear window. The car had also grown in size with a wheelbase of 96 inches (2,440mm). Most of the extra 3 ¼ in (80mm) was for the benefit of rear seat passengers. There were also some mechanical improvements to the car. The new Minx had the front wheel suspension from the Sunbeam Rapier.
