DynaMike ◊ 2007-05-30 17:45	Since April 1967 there was a Hillman, called Estate Car, and a Singer, called Vogue Estate car. The latter had chrome strips on the side and a different tailgate handle. Since September 1968 the Singer got the Hillman type handle and the Hillman changed its name into Minx Estate Car (info found in P. Olyslager: "Motor Manuals 86, Rootes 1500 and 1725 range", Sunday Times / Nelson, 1969)
Sunbar ◊ 2007-05-30 18:32	Agreed, another odd naming according to http://www.rootes-chrysler.co.uk/car-development/dev-hunter.html. Note there is no model name on the back only a make on the centre handle. It was called "Hillman Estate car" (no 'model name') from 1967-1970 it was based on the Minx version of the Rootes 'Arrow' project. "1970 Hillman Hunter De Luxe estate, Singer Vogue Estate, introduced. It took four years for the five door version of the Hunter to make an apperance on the market. The Estate body, however, appeared in 1967. Called simply the Hillman Estate car. The Humber Sceptre appeared in 1974."
