Let's try to piece this together correctly. 1) Hillman Minx, 1931 to 1935, Four cylinders 1185cc. Replaced by the Hillman Minx "Magnificent" (!) 2) Hillman Wizard, 1931 to 1933, two variants, 65 - Six cylinders 2110cc, 75 - Six cylinders 2810cc. Replaced by the Hillman 16hp and the 20/70. Both discontinued in 1935 and not replaced. Hillman Minx Wizard?? I am not aware of any use of that name. That would be like saying Ford Consul Zodiac or Austin Cambridge Westminster. As far as the "Wizard" stuff goes, this is just 1930s copywriters trying to draw an inference between a successful but stodgy small car, the Minx, (43,000 cars built) and an unsuccessful and very stodgy medium sized car, the Wizard. (7,000 cars built). This, following the 1933 renaming disappeared without trace in 1935 after an unsuccessful attempt to sell a few more. (4,600 in two years!) Both the Minx and the Wizard appear to have used the same Pressed Steel Company body, however. -- Last edit: 2021-06-11 17:13:36 (dsl) |

Minx and Wizard had different grilles, not stating this is one or the other |

Also the 'Wizard' is an attempt of an association with, rather than the actual model. -- Last edit: 2021-06-11 17:08:42 (dsl) |

Page tidied up after removal of an errant Standard as the original main picture (because the voiceover was discussing Minxes ....) |
