'Last remaining' 1969 Hillman GT on display in Gaydon

What is believed to be the last remaining Hillman GT is on display at the British Motor Museum

What is believed to be the last remaining Hillman GT is now on display.

The 1969 classic car is at the British Motor Museum, in Gaydon, Warwickshire, until autumn 2024, after which time it will be auctioned.

The museum, plus the car's renovation, feature in the TV show Bangers & Cash: Restoring Classics.

Cat Boxall, curator at the museum, said: "We are absolutely delighted to have this fabulous iconic motor on display."

The model was originally unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in 1969 but was only called the Hillman GT in its first year of production.

It was the sporty offering of the Rootes Group Arrow range before being replaced by the Hillman Hunter GT.

The car has a top speed of 94 mph, a 1725 cc engine and 94 bhp. Its price from new 54 years ago was £962.

"The Hillman GT is arguably the rarest car from the Rootes Group manufacturer and it is believed that this vehicle, built in Linwood, Renfrewshire, is the only surviving example," Ms Boxall said.

The car and museum can be seen on Bangers & Cash on 9 November on the Yesterday channel.
