  • Smallcar6309 Giant Road Test Hillman Super Minx Small
    HILLMAN SUPER MINX saloon convertible station wagon THE SUPER MINX HAS AN odd place in the British market. Its engine size puts it in the ever- popular medium category among people who think of 1\ litres as big, yet an unusual structural solidity combined with what the trade calls a complete specification jacks its price up out of the usual range. In fact it fights against one of the walnut-encrusted products of the Group's own badge-engineers, the ageing Singer Gazelle, as well as Standard-Triumph's equally draw• ing-room Vitesse 6. Accordingly it must get its sales on deep-down worth rather than surface appeal. An uncommonly solid and heavy and apparently very rigid steel monocoque structure makes a fine basis. Rootes has been building integral body-chassis units for a long time and this one, more than most in our experience, shows the benefit of careful and progressive development. All three basic body styles use the same steel pan and the same box structure and sub- frame forward of the scuttle. The small car convertible, partly because it has two very wide doors instead of four relatively less weakening ones but largely because it lacks the sheet steel roof on which chassis engineers usually rely for so much rigidity, carries quite a lot of extra metal in the lower platform in the form of welded-up crossmembers and box bracings. The idea is that this local beefing should compensate for loss of strength elsewhere. Rootes has obviously been care• ful from the start to banish road- excited body noise in the form of resonance and wheel rumble.

  • Münster Is the Home of Germany's One and Only Singer Gazelle Convertible
    June 20, 2008 Only around 15 models still known in the world – Classic Car Colors finds original colors Pearl Grey and Pippin Red No, it’s not a sewing machine: Münster is the Glasurit Automotive Refinish A division of home of Germany’s one and only Singer Gazelle BASF Coatings AG Dr. Michael Golek convertible Tel. +49 25 01-14 37 47 Fax: +49 25 01-14 37 50 [email protected] www.glasurit.com Münster. No, it’s not a sewing machine: The Singer Gazelle Mk. III A dhc – proudly owned by Jürgen Book, head of Customer Service at BASF Coatings – is a classic sports car. It’s the only known model of its kind in Germany, and there are only 15 of these special cars throughout the world. For Jürgen Book and his wife Anja, the 13 feet, 10 inch-long convertible is a hobby they pursue with a passion. “The Singer Gazelle is a milestone in automotive history. Plus, this model has a number of special features that make it unique even compared to those in other places in the world.” At least one thing is clear to the Books: Whenever they take the Singer out for a spin, the people alongside the road wave at them and enjoy the car as much as the proud owners. As a classic car fan, and as a paint expert in particular, for Book, having the matching color for the Singer is crucial. The Classic Car Colors color matching system by Glasurit, BASF Coatings’ paint brand, helped him find and mix the colors – Pearl Grey RTS 16 and Pippin Red RTS 26, to be exact.
