Yes Minx, Series II....The badge is just the mock-heraldic badge of Hillman with three vertical lozenges.

I could just do with a lozenge, throats a bit rough. Quite why you'd have three as your emblem is anyone's guess, though my Minx used to cough a bit if you put the choke in too soon.

I could well be wrong but I was under the impression those three lozenges are a stylised representation of Coventry's three spires.

Twat!

Came out of the scrap yard and spotted this. It looked brand new.

J reg is 1970 or '71 iirc.

Just noticed the horse tied to the grille. There's a big pikey contingent with horses everywhere in that area. Probably belongs to a showman or summat.

Dunno WTF it was but a single-seater racing car of some sort hurtled around the A303 roundabout at the Cartgate picnic area two or three hours back. Tried to see more but it was too low and stealthed under the various tin signage. Looked bigger and wider than an Atom with a tea-tray spoiler......

That Ford looks like an ambulance?

It is a Jennings Roadranger - a coachbuilt camper conversion. That pig front is potentially hiding a V6 too as I am pretty sure they were offered as an extra....

Shame modern campers don't look anything near as good.

I saw a spanking vw camper van with the top up yesterday.. Don't even know what to call it, the sunroof?
