1964+my S5 (no S6 wing badges). Thumb has huge Automatic badge - why do you want to advertise to the world that you can't be bothered to drive properly? |

to the experts. Isn't the car in the middle, between the Scooter and the Skoda Octavia, a Hillman Minx? http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180593721920 Can the plate be a Czechoslovakian one? AFAIK there was an export of Minxes to CS, or? A DDR-plate would be really strange, a West German one even more. |

@ingo: yes, it's an earlier model (Series III). Probably the plates are Czech. |

Yes there do seem to be Minxes and other 60s-70s Rootes cars in Cz as official exports - this later included the Chrysler 180 as discussed on a different post a few months back. I don't have hard info, but keep coming across secondary references - eg Czech enthusiast webpages with photos of their restored Minxes etc. Also there was an owner's handbook in Czech - http://alva.goo.cz/asfalt/hillman/ - and we've had similar sightings for Cortinas Mk1-3. Googling throws up a variety of references which ingo might enjoy - eg http://www.flickr.com/photos/sludgeulper/2978801012/ - and the stories in http://www.amersham.org.uk/forum/ipb/index.php?showtopic=2781 . -- Last edit: 2011-03-07 15:48:00 |

Many thanks for the info, but I've found out, that it was indeed a car from CS: the owner of his postcard has told it to me one hour ago. It's the "Western car in the DDR"-specialist in my plate-collector-forum. The eBay-member, who bought the postcard, is a friend of him - the guy who is actually bidding on some of my junk. I just have looked, what my potential buyers are interested in, too. |
