In October 1961
British automobile manufacturer Hillman (Rootes Group) introduced the
new Hillman Super Minx. The new car was an upmarket version of the
smaller Hillman Minx. Initially the Super Minx was only available as
a saloon with the 1,592 cc L4 Rootes engine with 46 kW of power.
In 1962 the range
was expanded with a five-door estate (May 1962) and a two-door
convertible (June 1962). In October 1962 all cars were updated with
larger front disc brakes and a revised axle ratio. In 1964 production
of the convertible ended after the Hillman Super Minx received a
facelift, the wrap-around rear window was replaced by more
conventional design with extra side windows. The windscreen became
taller and the roofline less curved. In October 1965 the engine
capacity was increased to 1,725 cc.
