Never mind the handling, it had an excellent handbrake to hold it on that hill.

It did actually, they were great for handbrake turns and getting away from the Rozzers

then up graded to Hunters

My late Dad had a Hillman Hunter, great car, he gave me some driving lessons in it, then he sold it and got a 2ltr Mk11 Granada, had some lessons in that too, but quite gutless really, small engine pulling a big heavy body, ( and no, that was not my Dad either! Ha!)

A neighbour where i used to live as a lad had something like a hunter, but was called Sceptre ( i think) lots of wood inside, twin carbs etc etc.
It was a really nice car. I remember changing the cam shaft and followers because he hated the tapping noise. All came out via the front if i remember correctly. He had it totally resprayed as well. It looked like a new car. Poor old fella then had a heart attack and could not drive.

Opps, just remembered, it was a HUMBER SCEPTER
