Hi, I have just joined the forum, one of my interests is collecting wartime Royal Navy Uniforms. Anyone else on the forum collecting the same? Kevin

I am a new member to the forum. We have a 1947 Hillman Minx, the phase 1 model introduced in 39/40. If you need any advice or photos etc let me know if I can help. I also have quite a large library of manuals etc that I can copy. Kevin.

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.
