GALLERY 2 - ROOTES RELATED FAMILY PHOTOS

My Mom and I with our 1963 Series IIIC Minx in the mid 60's. I don't know whose Minx I'm standing beside though.

Camping with our Beagle, Rex, late 1960's

My Dad at a Vancouver car show with a Tiger, Imp and a Series V or VI Minx

Rootes plant in Toronto where my Dad worked from the early 50's until 1963 or 1964

Rootes Vancouver in the early 50's. The premises had been renovated with a 2nd floor added by the time my Dad got there in 1963 or 1964

Me in front of one of my Dad's earlier Mark Minxes. This photo was probably taken in 1960 or 1961 judging by my size.

Same Minx after being hit by five cars in an intersection (my Dad and his passenger walked away unhurt fortunately). Early Series Minx visible in background

1975 - A friend and I with our Hillmans

Series IIIB and IIIC Minxes I was going to combine into one good car before I came to my senses. Too much rust but both made good parts cars. In fact the gearbox out of the IIIC is in my 1962 Sunbeam Rapier
