The 80 model was introduced by Hillman in 1931. It was a mid to high range car renowned for its refinement and solidity. Equipped with a 3181cc inline six engine, it offered a smooth ride and ample power for its size. Its classic lines and elegant proportions were complemented by a comfortable and well finished interior for the time. Conceived as an affordable option within the more distinguished vehicle segment, the Hillman 80 represented one of Hillman's attempts to offer a robust, well presented and adequately performing car for families and professionals seeking a more sophisticated vehicle. The Hillman 80 was produced until 1937.
