New red Hillman Californian

This car came off the Rootes Car Co production line in Scotland on February 3rd 1967, it still has its original engine, 875cc pistons and original bearings on the crank, they are in perfect condition also.


I have now fitted the passenger side window glass and have turned the car round to work on the drivers side paint works.


Now on 13"steel rims and Firestone tyres, the suspension is better upgraded to handle well on the original road springs.


The engine was taken apart and rebuilt to suit the factory specification for a sport version motor, with the exception of the larger oil cooler which was moved to the nearside to allow easier access to the carburetors.

Work continues on the cars paint works.

Smile!
