What's a Super minx deluxe!?! SM saloon production stopped Aug 66, so this E plate is unlikely to be authentic. Has Sept 65 onwards Mk4 badges on front wings, so 1966 date acceptable. Tasty Rostyles - they suit it. |

This is a 1967 registered car. It was manufactured in August 1966 and remained unsold until December 1966. It was first registered on 1st January 1967. I know because I now own the car.I am only the third owner. It has done 105,000 miles and apart from regular servicing and maitenance nothing has been done to it. The cylinder head has never been removed. The car now has its original wheels with white wall tyres. Regards |

Nice, I've added you as owner of the car. Do you have any pictures of the car as it is now? |

Thanks for the info - so one of the absolute last Super Minxes. Any photos? I always loved SMs with rostyles - when I was a kid in Birmingham there was an S4 SM near us with Rostyles in dark olive green with pale green side flash (as here for main colour) and carbs off a Hunter GT - looked subtle but elegant. |

Hi The car is exacxtly as in Life on Mars apart from the wheel change. Regarding registrations, according to the DVLA "How many left" website there is one other registered in 1867. Regards. |

I keep telling everyone that Rootes products were so far ahead of their time ..... |
