Product Description
The 1:76 scale Hillman Minx MkIIIA, painted in a very regal dark red and mid grey. It is registered YDU 799 and features silver external trim and white wall tyres. The interior dashboard and seating are moulded in a deep red with pale grey steering wheel.
In real life, this classic British saloon car of the 1950s and 1960s was manufactured by the Rootes Group with their in-house designed Audax body, the upgraded MkIIIA appearing in 1959 as a slightly larger vehicle than its predecessors. It came with both manual and automatic transmission with the automatic option comprising a Smiths Easidrive system -the first production dual-clutch type, which was to carry it right up to 1970.
