I had a 1961 Hillman Minx they wanted to hire for an advertisement a few years back but I turned them down. You see I had car friend who had the 39 barrel nose in this advert that screened on NZ TV many years back......he got it back as a wreck from the insurance company. Story goes that some of the film crew took it to a pub on the West coast where they did some of the filming ( south Island NZ), got on turps and then proceeded to roll it.

Here's the ad, sorry for poor quality https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAVaS7SzgQE
