Hello Everyone,
I have viewed the forum for quite a while now as a guest but have now took the opportunity to join and hopefully have an input.
I have been restoring vehicles now for a number of years and focus mainly on Commer and Hillman models but appreciate and follow many other manufacturers.
I have a keen interest in military history, we attend many 1940s events as a family and as a hobby I collect wartime Royal Navy uniforms. My son who is a primary school also has taken a keen interest so of course I plan to nurture this, his preference would be to restore a tank or half track though!
I have a few interesting vehicles in my collection but would like to expand that at some point to having a military Commer or Hillman.
Of main interest to the forum would be the 1937 Hillman 80 limousine that I have, this is the type used by Whitehall throughout the war and used by figures such as Neville Chamberlain. I also have a 1947 Hillman Minx Phase 1, this is the 1940 model that was reintroduced into production after the war. Many were used as staff cars. Lastly I have a 1937 Ford 10hp that was originally owned by a chap who served in the RAF.
I look forward to being part of such a interesting group.
Kevin.
