Hello Freek,

Nearly right,i think they are pst war hillman minx with them having the KMP/h on.
Should a hillman tilly have the toggle switch?

Thanks
John

The face looks wartime to me. I've just checked the handbooks, and YES...they do show the speed in MILES and KM.
Remember that the Tilly's were infact civilian in design and construction.
Allthough the Hillman Minx used the same design meters postwar.

John, the pull throughs are for guns. I'd be interested and the crowbar if for sale!
