"Avengertiger" Asked me to post some of his Avenger pictures so here you go.

Start with a BRM twin cam Avenger, I have always wanted to see one of these but I doubt you will ever get one in NZ. Oh well, thats what lotto tickets are for.

a section of the article done for motorsport news

Cool article, Good to see people those old rally cars. Have you got a copy of the whole article?

I see it mentions Andrew Cowan's Avenger winning the 1976 Heatway Rally of New Zealand. When I get some of my old Avenger articles scanned I will start a thread for Andrew Cowan pictures and info.

hiya richard no havent got a copy but gt will have he took the photos for the article so he said he would scan me a copy i will ask him to stick it up

Cool, The would be awesome if gt could scan it for us.

Seemingly custom built from an Avenger Estate body with doors from the 2 door hatch.

Ok: So somebody - other than the Argentinians with their VW 1500s (but I say those don't really count) - has successfully done a ute: one of us need to step up and do a panelvan.

i'm sure he has a thread around here somewhere but here is a pic from Daybreaker rally on the weekend

Rally was ok, had some overheating in first stage (longest at 43k) so drove keeping the revs down to get through. I'm almost certain the head-gasket is leaking. We carried some water and topped up the radiator at the start of each stage and it was fine. Other problem was a misunderstanding between me and service crew and we didn't put enough fuel in at the second service so with 4k to go in stage 6 I got some bad fuel serge so I had to back right off to get out of the stage...hence the utube clips with hazards flashing and being passed by the evo.

I was pleased to finally finish a rally as my last few have seen some missed stages...Started at 25 and finished at 25, the problems probably didn't effect the final position but I need to do more events and use notes to improve my speed....

Spotted in DVKE Wheels with attitude : did not spot him but he's keen to catch up with me apparently

Sweet, I haven't seen Dave's 2 door Avenger in years.

He is a top bloke. I meet him a few years back at Kumeu hot rod show and he came over had a look at my race car and we chatted about Avengers.

His 2 door Avenger is very tidy.

I like the colour scheme. I think I will keep my car looking stock/sleepy even if I do build the engine back up, but if I was going all out I would go for the most eye watering shade of purple I could find with the Tiger decals. Yellow or Red would be more faithful, but y'know...

QuotePaddy Hanna When I woked in England I did some work on an Alpine Tiger, 289 V8 factory fitted. Tons of grunt but really hard to work on Had rack and pinion steering but the tie rods had a bend in them which meant you had to drop the rod ends of the spindles to adjust the wheel alignment. Took a while.

this from a guy who has my mates ol racecar

Yeah Sunbeam Tigers were a Sunbeam Alpine with a V8 from factory. They made them from 1964-1967

Nothing to do with Avengers, just good old Rootes group name sharing.

This is a V8 Sunbeam Alpine.

A few Wagons as used bt the Scottish Royal Mail, see the vinyl roof!

Oh I see the Chrysler 180 was still sold under the Talbot banner. Here you see the big problem Chrysler UK had. Too many cars with little or no parts interchange between them. Simca based stuff (Alpine, Tagora - 4dr Alpine, Horizon) were far from the Rootes based cars and within that stable there was no interchange between the Imp, Avenger and Hunter, apart from hubcaps and inside door lock buttons!

Of course in Ford there were a lot of interchange between Escorts, Cortinas and Zodiacs/Consuls/Granadas.

Whats a real crime is the way Peugeot just dumped the Avenger & Sunbeam, even the parts inventory!

I'm getting tired of 'Emma Peel' Avengers jokes, next time I hear that grrrrr!

Come to think of it, the Cricket had round headlights and a strip dashboard.

Gets better!

'not for release untill Nov 18th 1970' fixed quarter glass on that one and the GT hubcaps.

Yeh they rushed to the Yankee market too soon with the Cricket. If the Americans got the twin exhaust downpiped 1600 and then the oil crisis! I believe the dealers killed the Cricket because they could make more money selling Mitsi's.
In a magazine I have 'Avenger 24,000 mile test' there is a paragraph about an American in England ''..with a touch of the Caddilacs about him..'' where he raves about the Avenger being ''..the sweetest driving little car..chirpy handeling..''

I guess thats how the Avenger got named the Cricket for the states.
If they called it the Avenger in America the 'big' name would have got laughed at for that size of car.

Chrysler REALLY dropped the ball with the Cricket! Sure the engines were designed to meet the California 1970 emmissions standards without the need for an air-pump. So we are left with one drawback on the Avenger, the engines have no squish which dropps the power and worsens the consumption a bit.

That's a quick Dodge Omni/Talbot Horizon...the replacement for the Avenger based Sunbeam...looks to have Avenger lights...lol
Had to laugh reading Wiki on them...they could go 130 mph, but didn't get a new speedo...just a label stuck to the bottom of the standard one increasing the numbers to 135 mph...go penny-pinching Chrylser...haha

AT LAST an Avenger has appeared in NZ Classic Car magazine!!
Check out page 26 of the December 2012 issue for a photo of the Rovenger in action during the Waimate 50...

Mine was in it 2004 roughly (the white one when Trevor had it)

OMG we have to wait another 8 years then??!!
They've got Chargers from Gore in this issue too...at least some Chryslers are getting noticed!

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v427/JoKerNZ/Dec011.jpg)

credit to younggun who now wants to change his Suncatcher colour... too common!

That's a 1974 English assembled 1600 GL, NZ new...4 headlights and 4 dial dash...maybe not twin carbs...Paddy will know!!

If its a Series 4 the window winders will be the flush to the door trim type with the plastic insert. S5 it would seem, got an all metal winder with a bevel to take the handle out further from the trim.

The round clocks might be the Delco type if its an early round-badger 1600cc and the steering wheel boss/motif will be blue.

Unlikely a TC by the look of the bling looks like a GL as oldschool says. The 1976 Supers got the GL front end and seats.

There were some Crickets in NZ, not sure how many but my first Avenger was a 73 1500TC but with a difference, it was called a Cricket. It was Todd made, but had a biege interior instead of black, sports steering wheel and was yellow (Lemon Twist) and some wide black stirpping and a liitle "Cricket" transfer on the rear guards?. I didn't like the paint jobs so soon repainted it.

From what I can remember it was a dealer mod. They even registered it as a Cricket.....Unfortunity I didn't take any photos of it before repainting.

When I was living in P North in 94 there was a Yelowish wagan cruzin round, only seen it a couple of times, had cricket on front gaurds an side repeaters, I had a 80 1600GLS at the time, just thought someone had added them! wonder were it went too?

Well...we'll know a genuine Cricket when we see it, coz it will be left hand drive!...LMAO

Is that looking from the front or rear LOL

Here's a very interesting article on the Plymouth Cricket...you can find out why they changed the name from Avenger to Cricket for the US market..!!

http://www.carlustblog.com/2012/06/plymouth-cricket.html

The American Horizon had the same body and everything else was diffrent.

Hahaha the Dodge front looks like a S1 Sunbeam, the S2 Sunbeam got the 'French' euro Horizon lights! Yep the Avenger lights do look better. I see that S1 Sunbeam headlight frames and grilles are being snapped up on ebay, wonder why!

The article on the Cricket, its as clear as day the man didn't drive one.

Sure its well said that the timing of the launch of the cricket, was with hindsight, all wrong.
In 1971 the American market was still in the era of the 'marshmallow suspended gas-guzzling land yachts' 12mpg was the average consumption and seating 20 the norm.

1973. In October of that year the Avenger got the longer stroke on the 1250 and a few thou bigger on the bore of the 1500 making the 1600 and more inportantly the improved manifolding and a longer valve stem.
So at the very time that the Saudi's threw the rattle outta the pram and gave the world the oil price shock, the Cricket was no longer for sale.
In America the poor turned en-masse to Toyota, Datsun, Honda etc while the big three struggled to compete.

There are of course huge diffrences in what people in Ireland for example and America wanted with cars.
The Americans and Austrailians have big wide, sweeping corner'd roads that are suited for big wide super comfortable tanks. Performance is all about the straight lined drag. Where roads are narrow, bumpy and lumpy with bad cambers, barely sealed and up and down hills then an agile car with plenty more torque than top rpm power is wanted.
The Yankees like go, we like pull.
I've even heard the Escort harriers say the Ave/Sunbeam had ''..a great wee torquey tough engine..''
What that practically mean't was better consumption and less bother to drive as you had to rev the head off an Escort or Viva to het them up the hills.

The unreliability. While the three 35A fuse system on the earliest (and Cricket) was indeed a mistake the likelyhood if a fire was still pretty low. Yes folks, a $1 jubilee clip around the carb feed union is a good idea!

Falling apart. Bullshit! What a load of crap I ever have heard! Believe me on the roads of County Down which are a hilly version of that 'path?' Avenger clip the Ave/beam, I have never heard of them being shaken apart.
If you drove a Ford Mustang around them it would be in bits after two weeks!

Rust. What, compared to a RWD Corolla! When you bought a new car in the 1970's you were a total spanner if you didn't take the new Avenger/Escort/Viva/Renault/Toyota or what-the-heck-ever, straight to the paint shop for a good squirt of bodyseal.

What peoples last car was.
A new Avenger in 1973 was replacing a Morris Minor, Ford Popular or Anglia or a BMC 1100/1300 as some guy had his hear and bank-balance ruined by severe FWD problems and wanted the conventional RWD layout. The Avenger had thr rep' of being a good driving, reliable and easier on fuel car than the 'Tinas. Thw Avenger was more of a 'light Cortina' than a better suspended Escort.

In America your last car was indeed a big spongy land-yacht, there is no comparing the car market in America with other western countries.

So to make a long story short, the American market turned to Toyota because of the mpg. Sure Toyotas are good and they didn't have a couple of things that the Avenger had, torque and better driving feedback.

Now, can we at all help the N.American guys with Crickets? Give the lads a spare set of manifolds or even ship a 1600cc in reasonable shape?

Some article comparing a Toyota of the ear with a Cricket IF it was launched in late '73/74?

Torque makes the diffrence.
Grrrrr!!

Who knows, maybe the Chrysler Avenger would have done better in the USA as a city car?
More chrome than the Hillman model, cruises quieter on the motorway and has that mini-Yank Tank look about it...lol
I guess after the Cricket debacle, Chrysler didn't want to risk a repeat and stuck with the Mitsubishi based Dodge Colt until 1994.

Yeh sure when Chrysler tried to sell Valliants in the UK they were a total flop, too big for the roads. The Cricket was too small and underpowered foe American tastes at the time.

I got my rally driving Escort MK2 nut mechanic uncle-in-law a wind-up crimbo prezzie, a Feb 1970 newspaper magazine suppliment with John Wayne, The Duke himself as the main article which will please him, unrtll he gets to page 18 & 19 huhuhuhu...
An article about how the shape and colour schemes of the new Hillman Avenger 'more car in your hands' was developed.

So what had a mini-skirt and a broken bra-strap have to do with an Avenger?

Roy Axe, the guy who headed Rootes design team, called in a young woman Vivian Fletcher a 22 year old design graduate.
While she (her story) was learning how not to bend over in a room full of guys, it was the late 1960's she was probabbly tortured with wolf-whistling and all the rest, she influenced the interior design of the Avenger in two ways.
The T-bar knurled drum controls for the lights and wipers we all know and love were designed so a woman couldn't break a bra-strap while wearing a static seat-belt and so encourage her to wear the seatbelt.
She advised the guys to use the fabric centres on the seats of the GL model because a woman in a mini-skirt doesn't like vinyl seats. I think the Avenger was the first (later on they all did) car to have the part fabric panelled seats. After reading that article I noticed that the fairly wide Avenger seat, the centre section would fit a young womans butt, right enough, the part where the fabric 'amblair' panel would be.
This was a bit of a masterstroke by the designers. A woman sits in a car for the first time etc etc.

She also advised the guys not to worry about the bright flame red colours many Avengers had being too vulgar as they suited the Avengers shape - thank you Vivian!

According to the parts of the article where Roy Axe was interviewed we have Chrysler to thank for the straight line of the Avengers front flanks.
When Chrysler took full control of Rootes they had a look at the 'semi-secret' designs of the new B-car and persuaded Roy to straighten out the hood and crown the wings instead of the Hunter-like swoop-dropping design he and his team were going with.
Also the Rootes guys were going with a more MK3 Cortina like double coke-bottle, broken waistline, swoop over the front and rear of the car. Chrysler advised that they straighten the midsection out to clean up these lines.

After a full sized clay model was made they all agreed to go with the modified body design.

The Avenger cost ?25 million (1970 money, x10 that today!) to develop and start to produce so its pretty clear Rootes could never have did that by themselves.

Finally as I read before Roy Axe had decided in 1966 when the Avenger design was embryonic to go with a 4-door design as 4-door cars developed from 2-door designs never look so great.

The article was titled 'The design of a new car with a womans touch.'
People have a habit, as is said, of falling in love with Avengers. A 22 year old female designer just may be that lady the guys fall for.

The AC Delco clocks which I'm prepping for a guy, fitted to mine.
Ripped out the weber drinker he had and replaced with an SU I prepped, seems all good.
Gonna fit the round clocks dash to his with the AC clocks on Saturday.
I need to get a voltage stabilizer but apart from that looking good. Got a new speedo head for ?5 for this unit.

If you bought a 1970-73 1500GL this is what you were looking at.

It has been on sale here.

Someone needs to buy it and restore it.

I was intrested but mike had sent me on a lot of photos and it's really bad to far gone for my pockets i am best suited to doing what I have. I did buy the back axle out of it though.

Damn it. I wanted that axle but at the time Mike didn't want to part it out.

An Avenger at the Circuit of Ireland yesterday and a few Sunbeams.
This was the Series 5 2-door that was for sale here about two years ago.

Sorry rich didn't know you were intrested in it,when he sent me more photos of car and I saw how far gone it was and declined the project he mentioned he might just part it out and I put my name down for back axle.

Does anyone know what engine this ran?

QuoteO'Kane CARS

I happened to find this in an old folder. My father must have been making out an advert for the local paper sometime in the mid 70's (guessing around 75/76) showing the new and old prices affected by a price rise. What about a new 2 door 1600 Super Avenger for ?2050 ????

Ken Douglas (https://www.facebook.com/ken.douglas.773?fref=ufi) Yeah good luck trying to buy a Group one (Standard production) Avenger just like this one. Two door and 1800cc engine.

Graeme Bjerring (https://www.facebook.com/graeme.bjerring?fref=ufi) I think only two ever made. Where are they?

Robbie McLean Author (https://www.facebook.com/robbie.mclean.9406?fref=ufi) I worked with a guy Royce Calder in Auck in the mid 80s he is a friend of Kenny Smith . He said he owned it ? I did see the car turned into circuit car. Had history .

Picked up my latest addition to the Hillman Avenger collection, not everyone's cup of tea but a very nice example of this NZ iconic marque.

ohhh golly, what is the chassis code / definition of this '2 door' "GLS"?

[instagram]https://www.instagram.com/p/BIAydGfA1ZT/[/instagram] (https://www.instagram.com/p/BIAydGfA1ZT/)

Source : www.instagram.com/p/BIAydGfA1ZT/ (http://www.instagram.com/p/BIAydGfA1ZT/)

we / NZ only got 2 door Series 8's is that right? (Chrysler Avenger / 79-80's?)

have seen a few of these or are they 'twin Light converted' cars?

We never got the 2 doors over here in NZ. Todd motors wanted to do the GTO in the 2 door and the Avenger in the 4 door.

In the UK the 2 door ran from '73 to '79 but as that is from Iran I think it is a "Hillman e 2 dar e montage iraan"

Quote
The Avenger was built in Iran from 1978?1980 in two-door, 69 hp (51 kW) form by Iran Khodro Co. and called "Hillman e 2 dar e montage iraan" aside the locally manufactured Hillman Hunter (called Paykan). The engine used in was the Hunter engine as also used in the Paykan.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillman_Avenger#Iran

I'm shocked a Paykan (Hunter) motor was fitted into the Avenger in Iran...it was the other way around according to this article...even RWD Peugeots were fitted with Avenger motors!!

Yeah, that is typical Wikipedia accuracy for you!!!

Both had the Avenger engine in them. The Paykan was definitely the Avenger engine because we found that photo of all the new Avenger engines in the Iran factory, so whoever wrote that Wikipedia article got the engine in the Paykan wrong, he did get the fact that they both use the same engine but it is the Avenger engine they share, not the hunter engine.

That's how I drive to work, best way to beat the Auckland traffic, just squeeze in between the lanes :) :) :)

Also why the Alpine had a vinyl roof, nice nonslip surface so your feet didn't slip :)

If you are wondering why there are so many Chrysler Valiants appearing in NZ street scenes, it's because of the huge number that were both assembled and imported into NZ by Todd Motors. According to Mitsubishi NZ records, a total of 44,760 Chrysler Valiants including 2208 Chargers were assembled in NZ. Todd Motors also imported 5151 AP5 - VH Valiants with an unknown number of VJ - CL models imported. In addition to that, many Valiants and particularly Chargers were imported privately into NZ. Of the 100 known remaining Charger E49s, 25 are in NZ. The Chrysler Valiant actually outsold the Ford Falcon in NZ up until the early 1970s. Photos from Todd archives of VH Valiants on the NZ assembly line, prior to release in 1971.

needs to be back in AKL by the 18th to start filming

Ahhh, thought i recognized the car. Bit young for my memory to be failing haha. If i lived closer to manukau id go get the parts from zebra. Depending on the condition of the fuel seal it might need more grease around it. Not to sure if its standard but mine was packed with grease between the pipe and seal.

yeah seal things shouldnt be too hard, boat or marine shop I reckon, glad I'll never have that problems with Hillman's

Just checked my spare motor and it doesn't have a thermostat housing, doh.

all good He bought A fiesta one & apparently there's a Hillman Guy in Taupo as well who' he tried & wanted $15 for one lol : crisis semi averted

Quinton Taylor (https://www.facebook.com/quinton.taylor.3975?fref=ufi)  That's Dave Robertson in the Hemi-powered Avenger (Invercargil and on Facebook or Choppas Tyres) and he will know where it is. I can't quite remember the name of the Ford owner. I took that photo from the start finish gantry Teretonga

Quote
Adrian Robertson (https://www.facebook.com/mr.towie?fref=ufi)  Dave Robertson’s avenger died in the tire wall near Castrol corner I believe caused by a jammed throttle

Ouch! I am down in Invercargill right now. I was doing a track day at Teretonga today, so I was going around that exact corner, and the tire walls are nasty there. 

My Avenger went sweet, my best lap was 1:32.

Off to Cromwell tomorrow, then track day at highlands. Then onwards to levels and Ruapuna track days

this is the last warrior of an era.

the dodge 1500 that run in the top racing category the TC2000 by Guillermo "yoyo" Maldonado, there where two cars for 1987-1988 and achieved 5 victorys in 1988.

back then in those two years most restrictions were eliminated and resulting in the most extreme modification to the 1500, the nose heavily modified for better aerodinamics and the rear axle was modified to use independent suspension, using VW beetle half shafts for better traction cornering
The engine was extensively known by the racing mechanics, and with 2 liters of displacement produced around 210 hp.
The 1500 was raced since mid 70 but was absent for two years when Maldonado appeared with this car, 1988 was the last year it raced against more modern cars.
The car is now in the  Fangio museum, sadly there are just few pictures around, none of the engine or the suspension.

yup the car I thought you were describing! Somone comments on my IG post of the same car the artist who designed the scheme


https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmpka8TAOcR/ (https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmpka8TAOcR/)

ferbclick (https://www.instagram.com/ferbclick/)The paint scheme and design was made by the argentian artist Rogelio Polesello, this car was a work of art indeed, and won a TC2000 championship facing newer and more modern cars.

Hi!!!
here I come again, because i was studying and then made a pause get into facabook and pum! savage avenger  appears. so i have to share with you because didn't see any other better pictures of this car ever.
This car is historical, Jorge Omar Del Rio was the first driver to win the TC2000 championship with the golden Dodge 1500 in 1980 season (first official season), but not only that year, it also nailed it 3 years in a row from 80-82 (his team partner Ruben Di Palma won the next year with the other 1500)
The car was prepared by Aldo Bellavigna, there is not much detail what went into the preparation but you can see the four Mikuni (bike) side-draft carburettors, displacement was 2 litre.

Awesome!! 1st view of that one too here!

I've also borrowed that & the description for my Avenger focused instagram :P

well, there is not much story here but I like it a lot. this car belongs  to a member of a facebook local group Diego Joaquin Arias.

The original 13" wheels but widened and painted black (185/70/13 fitted)  really bumps the looks up, and fill that arches
note the the side mirror is from the later VW models (bigger) but is a 2? gen (1980), doors has no quarters windows (which is sometimes a bummer because the rear window rolls just half way down and not all the way)

Miles?

Was Miles. Small world and didn't realise it was him hahaha

Yep, that's me.

Got a new wof & Rego last Monday so I can now get it out for quite drive in the weekend.

This must be outside Racetech, I supply the foams for their seats. Was visiting for a meeting and to get new belts for my Avenger needed for an event on Sunday.

Yup at Racetech! I'm their Technical Sales! Very weird to put faces to names but such a small world!

this Members car (freshly 'finished') is causing quite a stir, both in my pants and online in the Classic car Group

Got those indicator lenses off an early chrysler 180 through ebay France for $50 was a bit of a mission with the launguage barrier, also have plymouth cricket rear tail light lenses nos from ebay USA

nice! (have looked at cricket lenses before thinking they'd be neat here too LOL)

Caught up with Dave in his Aqua 2 door today

jeez where is that one hiding looks lovely.
i had a set of brand new cricket lenses in ireland i got from rick nossa in new york he has two crickets they are going on a nice two door build in ireland now.

Hah yeah I was thinking one Dave was enough! LOL

he is / was on these forums for a bit &used to have another shell that I think I know where it went (another member here

was thinking about a 2 door thread but I think we know where they all are & due to the value of them perhaps best not be tooooo specific

I have 3 north of Taupo (including the 1x went to scrap / cut up) 2x South between Taupo  Wellington and the Blue one in the South Island (race car)

there may be another (pure speculation) and not not counting the Cha-venger (welded up 2 door)
