1958 SI |

I'd give it a 64+ S4 date - simple side trim, big windscreen, rubber on overriders, possibly orange indicators. |

The 1958 trim and the 1964 trim appear identical to me. Was there any reason they switched back? Lack of creativity? |

How dare you sir! Rootes had a change in philosophy about 62/63 after several years of adding extra/thicker/shinier chrome, and started simplifying the trim so that the underlying elegance of their styling could become more apparent. They also tidied the window shapes on Minx/Super Minx/Humbers but saloons only - estates kept old outline. For the Hawk, the S4 trim was similar to S1, as you say, but without the pastel 2 tone colour combinations. |

The forward-thinking Rootes designers finally introduced synchromesh on bottom gear (as fitted to the 1934 Alvis Speed 20) on this model - in 1964! -- Last edit: 2013-02-05 17:35:23 |
