One of the best winter cars I ever owned was a 1961 Hillman Husky Series II.
It had been owned by a builder who went some pretty rough construction sites
and it had the most aggressive snow tires I had ever seen (they were either
600x15 or 650x15). They almost went "clunk" every time the wheel turned. But
man that car could go through snow. I bought it for $215 and sold it years
later for $100. The new owner did some work and drove it for several years.
I think a well set up Minx will be a goer in the snow provided you use "real"
snow tires or chains.

I'd actually recommend a Honda Civic as a winter "beater". They're cheap, go
good in the snow and are dead reliable. I love my Sunbeams, but these are
just not good winter cars (at least here in Chicago)... Sorry guys/gals.
