Can't be many of those left! Probably the first car I was ever in, my dad had one when I was little.

My second car was a 1500 Super Avenger in Grasshopper Green with a black vinyl roof.

I had an Avenger GT and Tiger (with the power bulge)

The black Dunlop wheels corroded badly. They were the same as on the Europa

The engines were cheaper to tune than ford crossflows for similar power outputs. Avengers and Sunbeams were very competitive in club rallying back in the 80's.

They would win the British Touring Car Championship as well in the hands of Bernard Unett who lived down the road from me when I was a lad.

It couldn't compete with the twin cam Toyota Celica imported by Wyn Percy and the 1600 changed to a 1300 in the late 70s

Shared the same floor pan and doors too.

THE BULKHEAD was so thin it would fracture where the clutch pedal mounted, through flexing. Gear box were a tad suspect as well out of 10 I give them
