[Tigers] Hillman Minx

[csx2282]

Hi Gary,

How's life treating you these days.  Hope the Tiger is still snarling!

This brings back some interesting memories.  I rented a Hillman Minx while I 
was on a work assignment in the Bahamas.  Yeah, sounds cushy, but most of my 
time was spent on a 100 foot boat that my company was running some testing 
on.  Anyway, the interesting things about the Hillman rental was that it was 
a left hand drive car in country where you drive on the left side of the 
road.  Or was it the reverse- can't remember after all these years.  A 
couple of days after getting the car, the hydraulic clutch went out.  I took 
it back to the rental place and got a replacement Hillman.  The next day 
it's clutch died.  I just lived with it for the couple of days I had lift of 
the trip.

I recall an old friend once commenting to me that Hillmans weren't really 
not too good on Hills.

Might make a good parts car, I guess.

Roland

Anybody want a cute little Hillman Minx?
Might be worth it just for the shared Tiger parts (headlight rims, 
tailights, toggle switches,
wheels, hubcaps)...
