It is understood that the Super Minx launched in 1961 was initially intended to replace the Series III versions of the standard Minx, but was ultimately sold as a more up-market model alongside the so-called Audax cars. The Saloon variant reigned for seven years and through four different marks, the first three of which were powered by a 1592cc engine and the last by a 1725cc unit. Aimed at the top end of the family car market, the Super Minx was more spacious than the ordinary Minx and featured somewhat more elaborate trim. A 1962 example tested by Motor returned a top speed of 80mph and a 0-60mph time of 21.6 seconds.
The MKII manual transmission Super Minx being offered is from the same year and sports White over Brown bodywork matched to Brown and Cream interior trim. The vendor regards the bodywork, interior, four-cylinder engine and four-speed gearbox as all being in 'very good' order and the two-tone paintwork as 'good'. He informs us that 'ZV 36733' 'starts and drives very well and that everything works as it should'. The Hillman is being sold complete with owners' handbook, workshop manual and a number of old test certificates.
