The 1964 Hillman Super Minx Mark II Convertible is a rare example of 1960s British elegance and craftsmanship. The Super Minx was introduced by the Rootes Group as a more spacious and luxurious variant of the popular Hillman Minx, with the convertible version being one of the most attractive body styles. Presented in 1963, the Mark II brought refined updates over its predecessor, including a redesigned front end and subtle improvements to the technology, appealing to a wider audience looking for both style and functionality.
This 1964 example combines the timeless lines of the Super Minx with the pleasure of open driving. The convertible is distinguished by its elegant proportions and solid canvas roof, making it versatile for both sunny drives and more cloudy days. Under the hood is a reliable four-cylinder engine, mated to a manual transmission, which ensures smooth performance. In its day, the Super Minx was known for its comfortable ride and solid build quality, making this convertible an enjoyable classic for leisurely touring.
The technical condition of this Hillman Super Minx Mark II Convertible has been recently upgraded with some major maintenance. The fuel tank has been completely overhauled, contributing to a reliable fuel supply. In addition, both the brakes and tires have been updated, which significantly increases not only safety but also driving comfort. These updates ensure that the car is in functional condition and immediately ready for further restoration or to enjoy on sunny drives.
What makes this convertible extra special is its rarity. While the sedan and station wagon versions of the Super Minx were produced in greater numbers, considerably fewer convertibles were built, making this version a sought-after collector's item today. The open driving combined with the charming British styling gives this classic a unique appeal for fans of rare convertibles from the 1960s.
