Oops, Following some rather silly ebaying madness, I seem to have won a 1963 Hillman Superminx. I know faff all about them. It's got a 4 spd auto box , and is mot'd and tax'd til August wondering what treatment I should give the car, lowering is a given, what styling cues would work on these things Pics of modded ones would be appreciated. hope I've done the right thing here! ebay is evil for idle fingers!     |

they are awesome lookers, I can tell you that!!
- iirx there's one floating about in black with red 'flake flames on it??
drop it, wide whites, 14" citroen bx plain steel wheels, bit of shaving and it's done I reckon
EDIT - if you drop rottie007 a pm, when he bought my mate sid's old blue one, someone did an AMAZING p/shop of it dropped, on whitewalls wiith big orange scallops - he might still ahve the pics?

the two tone on the red one looks nice, seems the shape could pull something like that off well. How about brown and cream, with metallic green or purple wheels? looks good in my head but thats not saying much!

 you mean this one Kev. I'd forgotten about that, have seen it at Mersea Island, and Suffolk Nats. I think I may have even met one of it's owners, a fella called Mitch. |

After a chat with swmbo last night, i'm thinking possibly red bottom, black top. a tiny bit like  which works in my head. will have to have a go at photoshopping it , the issue then though is it'll have a blue interior, so that'll need sorting. cant find many modified examples apart from the one above with the flames |
