Pavilion Gardens | Buxton, Derbyshire 0 - 0 Registration No: ARX 192B Chassis No: B1344115HU0 MOT: Exempt � Current family ownership since 2010 � Fitted with 5.5J steel wheels and period looking roof mounted luggage rack � Current V5c and a collection of old MOT certificates � A rare survivor It is understood that the Super Minx launched in 1961 was initially intended to replace the Series III versions of the standard Minx, but was ultimately sold as a more up-market model alongside the so-called Audax cars. The Saloon variant reigned for seven years and through four different marks, the first three of which were powered by a 1592cc engine and the last by a 1725cc unit. Aimed at the top end of the family car market, the Super Minx was more spacious than the ordinary Minx and featured somewhat more elaborate trim. A 1962 example tested by Motor returned a top speed of 80mph and a 0-60mph time of 21.6 seconds. This rare surviving example of a Super Minx Estate has been in the current family ownership since 2010. Fitted with a reconditioned engine, 5.5J steel wheels (originals included), tow bar and period looking roof mounted luggage rack, it is finished in blue with blue seats and retains a Reading Garage Co Ltd (Rootes main dealer) plaque. With c.64,900 credible miles recorded it is accompanied by a Swansea V5c, collection of old MoT's plus Tax discs and we understand a spare engine may be available by separate negotiation with the vendor.
