It was basically a Simca, not much Hillman in it, although they were distantly related.
The 4-cyl version had a lousy engine & brakes. the 6-cyl was a rocket with (slightly) better brakes but they were outdated by the time they came to market in Aust. The competition (Cortina, Torana, Datsun & Toyota was much better as the time.
