CUBAN HILLMANS
A friend of mine went to Cuba this year and took these photos. He mentioned that he had seen quite a few more Hillmans driving on the streets as well. I was aware there were a lot of old American cars in Cuba but didn't realize that there would be so many Hillmans in regular use out on the roads.
Series 1 Minx with mag wheels and a hood ornament (was that original?). I have seen pictures a few other Minxes with hood ornaments but don't know if they were an option or just added later by restorers to customize the car.
Another early Series Minx.
Series III Minx. Not sure what those tail lights or bumper are off of though.
Mark Minx Husky, again slightly modified. I wonder what this one has under the hood? I'm thinking not the original Rootes four cylinder.
