lol Was that a Hillman and Vauxhall @ 3:30? Should have put them with the antique cars.

Around 3:30 I see an Alfa SZ and followed by a Fiat 1100/1200 , an Alfa Giulia 105 and then a Mini. Maybe it was a different video?

Ah... a Fiat 1100 looks remarkably like the Hillman Minx.

That came on while I was working and I thought I'd share it with everyone. Love the sounds. I can't give up my ICE. Cars without sound is like watching your favorite band on mute.

Yes, in the same class with the bulbous rounded look from that era. The Minx was a little bigger and naturally had a bigger engine (Italian cars nearly always have smaller engines than everyone else), but in typical Italian car fashion, the 1100 conversely had more HP. The 1100 (Millecento) in its later life was replaced by the 124 Sedan (and also typically both were sold at the same time, just like the new 500 and the old ones will be sold at the same time in Europe in the near future).
