Your Tiger project is looking awesome! That is some serious rust repair! Love the steering rack and header work too. I'm a long time Tiger/Alpine fan and have to admit that the Sunbeam name was a draw for me on the Minx. If you really want to track down your old Minx your best bet is probably the Registry maintained by the [URL="http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/HillmanCars/"

Hillman Yahoo Group[/URL]. I'll be watching the Tiger build. Cheers!

I think the series V1 have a different front spindle height than the SV.
They are the ones Tiger owners who want to lower their cars love to get.
On my old Minx the tyres are probably a 60 series profile instead of 70 series, also the rear spring shackles were lengthened to raise the rear a little as the rear tyres rubbed a little with people in the back seat.
Thanks for the link to the registry, i will check it out.
