The Series II had a new grille. The Jubilee was a double: 50 years of Hillman and 25 years of Minxes.

The Series III got a new grille, with the Hillman name placed above it. The IIIa grille was different (split) - the IIIb's grille looked the same, but was made of aluminium. The IIIa got tiny fins at the rear. The IIIb was also fitted with a Hypoid rear axle. The cars looked identical, so Rootes didn't bother with a new brochure - they just changed a couple of words on the 'specifications' page.
