 FOR SALE AND WANTED ADVERTS - WINTER EDITION

 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.

sue.hickFOR SALE We have had this car since the 1980s and we will be very sorry to see it go but, age has caught up and we now need to find it a good home.
The car was given to us by a very dear friend after her husband had passed away, she explained that her husband who was a very tall man already had a van for his business and wanted a car for leisure but it had to have a lot of legroom and headroom and after going all round the 1955 41st motor show and trying other makes of cars the minx fitted the bill, he asked the sales person if he could buy the car on the stand and was told that he could but it had to go to his local Hillman dealership first so that they could have it in their showroom for a time, the dealership was Charters of Aldershot and after a time in the showroom the car was sold to him so this accounts for it being registered in 1956 which means being careful when buying spares because as we know the minx changed shape in 1956.
The car is much the same as when we got it and only has 39,026 miles on the clock from new.
This car has been in a number of films one by Sir Peter Hall telling the story of some of the troubles when the Windrush people came to the UK and another film was Agatha Christies, The Pale Horse where the car was used by the Doctor in the film.
The number plate on the car has been valued at more than £1,000.
Recently the brake shoes, brake cylinders and flexi pipes have all been renewed and it has brand new tyres, as with all vintage vehicles things need doing but the car runs very well and at times during my career when I was without a company car I used the car for my work.
We would like the car to go to some one who would love it as much as we have.

Offers over £4.500 considered

 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
