The Hillman Gazelle is an automobile which was produced by Chrysler Australia[2] from 1966 to 1967.
Based on the British Singer Gazelle Series VI, the Hillman Gazelle was offered only as a four-door sedan and was essentially an upmarket version of the Hillman Minx VI. It was powered by a four-cylinder engine producing net, more than the Minx thanks to its aluminium cylinder head and twin-barreled Solex carburettor. This aluminium head engine was produced for the Sunbeam Rapier.[3] Chrysler Australia replaced both the Minx and the Gazelle with the Hillman Arrow / Hunter range during 1967.
