(I recently 'corrected' a MkVI Hawk to a MkIV before realising that their number sequence changed more or less with the ashtrays). Hillman went from a Mk I to a Mk VIII Minx (not to mention a, b and c variations) when, perhaps, Ford would have identified about four Mk changes, from wartime to 1955. Nightmare. Much easier for us trainee car nerds if they had counted the earliest 1930s Minx as a Mk I and continued consecutively until the name was phased out with the 'Arrow' model in the early 1970s. BMC, Ford and Vauxhall models all easier to identify.
