pressure gauge was added to the dashboard. October 1929 For 1930 a stronger frame was provided together with longer springs employing Silentbloc spring shackles and improved brakes. Olympia Motor Show October 1930 Three Fourteens were on Hillman's stand, a 2-door drop head coupé, a 4-door safety tourer and a 6-light Weymann saloon with a sunshine roof. Front seats could now slide for adjustment and a petrol gauge was provided on the instrument panel. The brakes receive servo assistance on the safety model. All the cars displayed had safety glass.
