1496cc. This Hillman Big 16 Saloon is accompanied by its original buff logbook, showing that it was first registered on 30th April 1934 and spent its first few decades in the South East. A 1937 instruction booklet is also present, and the history file contains letters from the 1970s concerning its identity. The V5C records 2 former keepers.

The vendor tells us that the Hillman has been sitting in storage. It reportedly runs well when up to temperature, but he advises that it “requires some attention to the car side to ensure the best running”. Its last MoT expired in 2009.
