Anyone owned a Hillman Hunter before?
Hiya all just quick question anyone owned a Hillman Hunter before and how did they fair as driving car and of course reliability?
Just been Offered one now from a mate In Stoke. Its in good nick and but does need a bit of engine work, she fires and drives but is hunting a bit which could be simple as a faulty dizzy or Cabberottr needs adjusting. What do you think of these cars? if I get it at a good price I can fix it and sell it for more cash like a welsh version of Wheeler dealers.

I've never had one but as a enthusiastic purveyor of old tin, I believe they are ok even underrated these days. They're a nice looking car but don't seem to be worth much. I'd be tempted if the body is ok.

Going too have a proper chat in the morning with the owner before I go too the ford meet. At the same time study a bit more about the car as well before I make my move in haggling the price down.

So far so good seems too be a lot of love for these cars.
I have too admit I do like the look of them and something I would gladly drive around.

Ouch, 5k sounds steep for a Hunter that's not quite up to speed. They just don't seem to pull that kind of money unless they're tip top and a good spec, GLS for example.

Had a blue 1725 GLS auto. Lovely to drive. Cousin had a green 1725 GT twin carb. Another belter of a car.
Simple to work on but by now they will suffer some serious rot unless they have been well looked after and a local welder. Get it up on ramps and have a good poke around. Lift the carpets too. At 5k that is very strong money for one and I would expect it to be a top example. I’ve seen examples at 2k with MOT so there are cheaper ones.

It is in good condition paint work wise but then again there just photos with advanced camera these days make a bad car look good. Very original no aftermarket parts. that would certainly boost the price but £5000 not a chance its worth between £2000 £2500 at best.
