as yeah : says Aunger, the Manufacturer (not Avenger) seller might be assuming things?

will check against the one I know of (in the South Island ) otherwise PRETTY KEEN

edit : ahh no doesn't look like it to me eh sorry



I'm guessing that a 'coon / Ford part by the Shape (EB Falcon? ish eh

Our NZTA data still shows "Just" 2x '1970's in the System



interesting to note the 'VIN" matches this car and Location Data of the second one too



and I recall Posting the '1st Registered Avenger' to my IG

Source : https://www.aronline.co.uk/cars/hillman/avenger/new-zealand/

Local assembly of the Avenger duly commenced in July 1970, initially of a single 1.5-litre four-door, named the Avenger Super. The first examples generally seen by the public were two press vehicles of Todd Motors, carrying the registration number plates FK9032 (below) and FK9034 respectively, appearing in print advertising, followed by examples encountered in shopping displays and dealership showrooms.


and via carjam_nz evidence is made it to at least 1997

and yes, here's the UK Oldest known and their owner comments

Me : any secret info contained within the Magic Numbers here?

Michael : not that I am aware, those chassis plates are different to ours. Archives are kept at the Coventry car museum, might be worth dropping them an email, see if they can give you a build date etc

the mystery continues

We've had at least 3x 1970 Owners on the fourms via the results of the "What year is your Avenger Poll" here : https://www.avenger.co.nz/forum/index.php?topic=222.0



And the Avenger Census 2019 (NZTA online records) put it as 1 of 2 still 'in the system'
