No further Huskies were made until a new model based on the Hillman Imp appeared in 1967. This new Husky shared the Imp's rear-mounted 875cc overhead camshaft engine but in low-compression form. This was also the engine adopted by the Bond 875.
The car had two-doors plus a rear tailgate – this time top-hinged, with the engine bay below it. There was 25 cubic feet of capacity, and this was the first Hillman derivative to have radial-ply tyres.
Once more Commer sold a commercial version of the same car.
The last Husky was built in 1970, at which point Chrysler Europe, new owners of Rootes, engaged in a major rationalisation of their products.
