The Minx first appeared in 1931 and became one of the most reliable family cars of the era. A re-styled Minx, the Magnificent, was announced in August 1935 and by the end of the year 10,000 had been sold.

New features included larger bodywork with bulbous wings, enclosed boot, pressed steel wheels and a four speed all synchromesh gearbox.

The replacement model in 1940 featured all unitary construction.
