That one's easy - Chopper.  The big black seat on the Grifter used to rub my thighs raw!  >:(

My dad had a Viva - JEO 61H still remember the reg after 25 years.

It was red with a black pvc interior that would fry your legs on hot summer days - kids didn't wear sealbelts and the ICE was a radio with MW and LW.

Happy days  ::)



My dad had a Hillman Minx (hunter shape) which some on here will have seen me mention before.  I too remember the reg OHX 957 E.  It was blue and had a blue PVC interior.  Our legs fried on hot days and frooze on cold ones.  I well remember the MW and LW radio that used to fade in and out.

That car was replaced by another Hunter, this time the Chrysler version (a poor alternative to the Rootes product), reg DLF 517 T.  I still remember crying when the blue Minx went!!

After that, dad got a nearly new MK2 Cavalier, C 319 SLO.  This was red and he had loads of trouble with the Camshaft.  Mum and Dad then joined the VW camp, and I was then old enough to drive.

The hillman minx was a great car and I still to this day wonder what became of it...........

They don't make them anymore but the US branded version are called Jolly Ranchers - if they're not the same they're very similar.
