Lovely car. I am not sure how things stand in New Zealand and Australia, but in the UK, the Rootes cars seem to have been forgotten. Everyone values Fords, Triumphs and many of the BMC cars like minis and Morris Minors, but it sometimes feels like Hillman, Singer, Sunbeam and Humber never existed, and yet they were such iconic high quality cars. It always fills me with joy to see one of Coventry's finest.

Hillman have always been popular cars in New Zealand and there is still a following for them through clubs. I think there are only about 70 or so registered Hillman Superminx's in NZ, but there will be plenty hidden away I would say. Hillman avengers were very popular cars. The car always gets a lot of attention from people when I take it out. Thank you for the comment and for watching.

I passed my driving test in an identical model back in 1968... my father bought it new in 1966.
