Whos got some cool pics? I have this strange fascination withthem which seems to be growing and growing.
I'm bidding on the Ventora on eBay at the moment but still got a Hillman Hunter feeling coming on.

That blokes just built my idea. While I was on the loo earlier I thought "I bet nobody is stupid enough to have stuck a 200SX motor into a Hunter yet". He's an Aussie, right? LOL

Rmad and I knocked around the idea a while ago of doing a nice cleaned/euro style Hillman Hunter... dead cheap to pick up, fit the right rims and get it low and your most of the way there.!  |

PPP172M comes back as "Vehicle Status Not Available" yeah I checked too - I guess it died a long while ago - signs weren't good when in the first week of it's life it seized the engine - things didn't get much better from then in fact it got a whole lot worse!!! |

why bother "welding" a rusty Hillman Hunter when a brand new rust free Shell can bought in ....Iran ;D ;D ;D  PS " Hunter " and "Arrow" were both Rootes Group Copyrighted names,the Persian word "Paykan " means "arrow" ...trivial I know... ;D |

Many years ago I changed my driving style to cope with rising fuel prices; I have now reached the stage where I am contemplating keeping my eyes shut in order to lower wind resistance.

Top grammar tips!
Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated
Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

Brilliant cars a rival to the MK2 Cortina (IMO the Hunter did not rust as bad/quick as the MK2 'Tina) My Father had two 'Minx' versions, both of which got badly smashed up/written off in road accidents (not his fault!). I suppose Iran isn't all bad   |

^ Sweet car... vom-inducing wheels though! Don't suit the car at all IMHO. Loving the red 'un with the SR20DET lump. Mental! |

Peykans galore!  It's a strange country when everyone drives either a Hillman Hunter or a Peugeot 206 or 406  |

how much a new minx from Iran, anyone know?

Someone just shot the elephant in the room. |

They stopped making the Pekan in Iran sometime last year.
Its a pity because they use the Avenger engine With a nice 5-speed box.
Someone was using one on the strip at RCS last year, anyone get any pics of it??
