And the 1954 Hillman Minx Mk.VIII Californian in Forest Green over Tyrolean Green. Was this a car ever seen Stateside?

Mike, as far as Canada goes, British Columbia in particular, this car was quite popular; along with most of the other Rootes products. I have always been a fan of most "every day man" British cars as the city I grew up in had very many British immigrants after WW2.

For a short time in the early 1950s, Hillman Minxes were sold in the US -wiki
