Certainly not a comparable car.

Probably worth the price as it's basically a brand new car. This one's changed hands many times - the last time I saw it I believe it was Christie's Auction House selling it.

I still want a Venezia, and an old Chevy truck, but I started tearing apart the Humber a couple of weekends ago, so I'm stuck now!

It looks like a very nice example. The minilites give it a good look. By the photo's, it should get the asking price not to mention a very rare Sunbeam.

Until I saw this add, I didn't even know Hillman made a cool car.

Do these come up very often?
Sorry to hi-jack, just wondered.

My My Jeff
Your wish list is making me wish I never sold my 5 Sunbeams. On e was a nice stock 66 Tiger
I'll just have to do with my 2 cars and the model A

Chuck, as of right now I still have 7 Alpines (3 are more or less parts cars) and the 34th Tiger to roll off the assembly line (in need of TLC), but after seeing that add I thought "I just HAVE to have one of those!"
Now a Hillman 3 door with a 2.8l would make a super grocery getter.
Reminds me of a mini Chevrolet Nomad.
If it were only a little closer, and I a little younger.....

Part of my vision for this club is to get more exposure for ALL the Rootes vehicles produced. I'm discovering that many Alpine owners aren't aware of the other great models produced by Rootes. There's more to life than Alpines within the Rootes world!

These Husky's do come up from time to time, usually hot-rodded like the Ford Anglia.

Well, I think I will have to insert a or so here. I know what you have been missing.

 

[lemansvk]

Jeff, you already have one. Yours, of course, is the sports convertible model

I did yes, very tempting as the price is right, but not quite my era.
