Wanted - parts or advice on how I might source
them!
My 1961 series 111B Minx convertible is being restored, but there
are a few bits that I have lost or am struggling to source, any
help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
- All of the rubber trims and seals need replacing,n I can't
find if there is anyone who still supplies them.
- I have lost one of the short chrome trims from one side of
the boot.
- I need to try and source new clips for all the chrome trims.
- I will need new carpets, but I guess maybe I can cut new
ones?
- I think I also need the handbrake boot rubber (I think that
is the correct term) and gear stick rubber.
- Also It has a reversing light at the back, which I have seen
on some models and not others, does anyone know if there is a
specific style originally? the one that is on there is quite
bulky and I am not sure it is original.
I am the third owner of the minx, my Grandad owned it before
me and I think he bought it in about 1964. I am hoping to be
able to bring her out on runs and to events when she is back
up and running.
Many thanks to anyone who can help.

FOR SALE: 1932-48 Engines. (I was amused to read
the advertisement for an attractive '34 Minx, on which the owner
had substituted the dynamo by an altimeter. He must be a `high
flier'. That item appeared below a notice reporting a call from
a lady in Holland, who had a strange-looking telephone number.
It is unfortunate that no e-addess was given, as a call may prove
expensive.) I have three engines that might meet her needs; but
it is necessary to know for what reason she needs an engine and
to confirm that it is for a 1932-48 car. Email: rogertucker@live.co.uk
