thanks folks  i spoke to the guy today for a price for shipping and i am going to be bidding on it. my house/ car flooded in the floods which is a shame but on the other hand it has cleaned out the garage for me so that i can fit another avenger in. mine is flooded in the shed so i will see to drying that out this weekend.

I have "heard" that Mk 3 Cortina are 'very' close and can be trimmed to fit / and look "OK"

Those numbers are way out because you have somehow added duplicated a lot of the years

Like 1974 year "HILLMAN AVENGER 1974 37" is listed twice, as is a few other years.

The basic carjam search comes to 187 Hillman's and 71 Chryslers. Which comes to 258, 18 short of what I found in the LTSA database.

I found those other 18 by doing seaches and fitlter in Chassis number pattern batching, like B??M4?? to find any mid price range Avenger's I missed. Then I repeated that for with B??H4?? to find any missed high price range Avengers, this found me another 6 Avengers. Finally I did a sort by all Hillman's and Chrysler's between 1970 and 1981 then manually looked for any that has been misspelt. This found be me another 12 which got my total up to 276.

When I originally did this research it took me about a week of crunching the database to find every last one. And I think that is within the margin of error. It might be slightly lower now because I know we have lost a couple since I did my big crunch of the database, but I just spent a couple of hours double checking the LTSA database CSV and easily found 265 Avengers. The rest I are misnamed ones that I would have to either find again or compare on my old database to see if they are still active. But I can safely say there are between 265 and 276 Avengers left in New Zealand
