The major Rootes & Chrysler dealer in Adelaide was Commercial Motor Vehicles Ltd. (CMV) in Franklin Street.
Stocks of the new Minx Series V began arriving in 1963, but CMV still had around 20 Minx Series IIIC Special cars that were very hard to sell.
Their bright idea was to develop and implement performance enhancements on the engines, using only Rootes parts already in stock.
According to HCCSA member Ross Kemp (who worked there at the time), CMV modified a few of the cars themselves. Then Len Miller was commissioned
to develop and implement his own enhancements for the final 16 cars (which were sold by CMV with the usual 3,000 mile 3 month warranty).
