Vehicle Description
1946 Hillman Minx Mark I Saloon Here is a great example of a post
WWII registered Minx Mark I as is recognized by his protruding
boot/trunk which replaced the flat back look with only three
previous owners. Giles is a saloon as compared to an estate car or
a drophead coupe (convertible). Being reintroduced in 1945 with no
less than 57 improvements over the pre-war New Minx (which look
nearly identical) the price soared to £442 (or about $729 US
dollars) in October 1946. Giles boasts a 12-volt battery (new for
the times) for instant starting. The 1946 Hillman Minx Mark I is
described in an advert of the time as "flared bonnet and streamline
luggage locker give (an) ultra-smart appearance". Peacetime
assessments in 1945 revealed that the Rootes Group had made one out
of every seven bombers produced in the United Kingdom during the
war, 60 percent of the armoured cars and 30 percent of the scout
cars. In 1950, as Chairman of the Society of Motor Manufacturers
and Traders, William Rootes played the major role in organizing the
first ever British Motor Show in the USA. -Vehicle is on
