About the Hillman Husky

The real Hillman Husky was a compact British estate car based on Hillman’s Minx range and became particularly recognisable for its practical two-door estate-car configuration.

Dinky Toys produced miniature versions of many popular British cars and commercial vehicles, allowing children to own scaled-down versions of vehicles they would have seen on Britain’s roads. Today, these models are collected for their nostalgic appeal, detailed period styling and connection to Britain’s post-war motoring history.

The Hillman Husky is particularly appealing to collectors of 1950s and 1960s British motoring memorabilia, as well as those building collections of Dinky’s classic family cars.
