One of my favourites from IMCDB is this a pair of Isuzu Hillmans and bracket by a pair of Bellels

Hi all,

I recently picked up a brochure for the 1956 Isuzu Hillman Minx - have scanned it and uploaded to the History pages

Cheers, Vic

Hi Matt,

I haven't logged in for a while so a bit late picking up on this. As I think I have mentioned in the past I knew Gary back in the 70s when we were rallying Belletts. Good to hear that things have turned out not too bad, and can you please pass my greetings and good wishes on when next you ...

Oh I should have said - the first page has two enigines on it because this was when Hillman introduced the OHV engine. The old sidevalve engine continued in the Estate (wagon) but the new motor was used in the sedan. This brochure also suggests that the Californian coupe was sold in Japan.

Here are some scans of a rare Isuzu Hillman PH12 (Mk VIII) brochure. The brochure is a folder which is A3 at full size, but folded up twice to be A5 as handed out by the dealer.. The first pic is the front (A5 size), next is the first foldout view (A4), next is the centre fully folded out (A3) and ...

Glenn,

The problems you are describing are a complete mystery to me. I have been buying calendars through this publisher since 2007 when I did the first Hillman calendar and have never had the kind of issues you have mentioned. Nor have I heard of them from any of the hundreds of others who have ...

Ok Folks "The 2015 Calendar" is finally ready - still in time for the new year.

I got more pictures than I could use, so if yours didn't make it I'm sorry but I will keep it for next year. I will email everyone about this soon. Those that did make it include Farmer Matt's Tassie pics (cover ...

Here's another Isuzu Powered minx, this one a 1937 model

Davo, his name is actually Steve Guarino - he just uses minx as an FB name.

He has recently said he is thinking of selling the car and posted some pics on facebook, hopefully this link will work

Cheers, Vic

Thanks for all that have been received so far ...

Redback - pic received, thanks
Brett - yes, plese send pics of the blue car
Matt - the pics are a bit small but I will put 4 them together in a composite, so details of where and when would be good
Davo - yes, please send me those pics. I don't ...

Glenn,

That's odd, I've received files that big before. I'll set up something in Dropbox and get back to you, later today or tomorrow

Thanks, Vic

This is a customised 1952 Hillman Minx, very similar to the first one Isuzu built under licence. It's powered by an Isuzu twin cam motor and lives in Perth. The pic is one from the 2015 Hillman calendar

Hi all,

It's now high time to start organising the calendar for next year - actually I'm a bit late starting but not too late if we get cracking. I've already set up a template at the publisher, so all I have to do is start adding pics to it.

So this is the call for your pics. I do have some from ...

Tomica do/did a nice version of the Isuzu Hillman Minx in the same scale. They come up from time to time on evilbay at prices between "Bargain!" and "You are joking".I paid about $20 plus postage for mine and despite being small it is nicely detailed, even down to the two tone upholstery inside ...

Glad you enjoyed. This is the first I've heard of outside Japan. It gives me hope that someday I will find one sitting in a garage that someone has shipped back to Canberra after a diplomatic posting to Japan I'd just love to take one to a Hillman Car Club meeting, it would confuse the hell out of ...

Just catching up with some stuff I missed. Gazelles were actually pretty good cars in their day. They used the alloy head motor from the Sunbeam Rapier, and had a nice walnut dash. One won its class in the Sandown 3 hour in 1968 and lead it's class at Bathurst the same year for 2 hours before an ...

Just thought I'd share this pic I got of a 1963 Isuzu-Hillman Minx Super Deluxe that currently lives in Sri Lanka. The owner is a collector with about 40 cars. Apparently about 10 of these Minxes were imported into Sri-Lanka in the late 1960s, at least 4 remain.

Cheers, Vic

Mark,

I may have a spare of the 2011 Calendar, I'll check tonight and let you know.

Cheers, Vic

Hi all,

Just a reminder that "Wheels 2014" in on 16 March - just under two weeks away. This is the biggest annual show in Canberra and usually attracts about 1000 vehicles, everything from vintage Rolls Royces to hotted-up Toranas. We even had an Isuzu 117 a couple of years ago (Gary's) - but I don ...

Thanks everyone. Rosalie has continued to improve and she is now nearly back to normal

BTW, I'm happy to receive pics at any time of year - I set up a folder on the computer each year for next years calendar and just store them as I receive them

Cheers, Vic
