Hello Folks,
I just purchased on Fathers day a 1955 Hillman Minx Mark VIII Convertible that does not run has no brakes and has a very badly damaged right front fender and front grille. I understand that 1954-56 fenders will interchange. I'll take any grille I can get. Does any one know of any dead 1954-56 Hillman Minx's out there in some wrecking yards. Any good Rootes family spare parts vendors you know of that sell Hillman items? I thought fellow Rootes family members might be able to extend my search past Orlando, Florida. This is my first British car. I have been restoring Studebakers for over 25 years. This is my only project now.
Thanks for any help I can get.
