funny putting the petrol in the rear of the car

Its a Hillman Avenger. Fantastic cars. My Dad had a gold one back in the day.......

Sad to see the old girls end up like this. If i had my way i would own a farm of massive proportions and store all these old cars........

hooly fok:yikes::yikes:

my Dad had one of those when I was a toddler:ihih:

there is an absolute minter of an Avenger us that I see on a regular basis. Absolute head turner :rock:

typical Royal Mail van trying to squeeze his way in!!!!

I cant believe they are destined for the yard!!!:yikes:
Both 2 door and both worth a few bob as they are I reckon as donors.

My mate had a Tiger when we were running Mk1 Escorts, it was just as quick and a lot cheaper than our Fords to buy. I just couldnt be seen in it then,,,it was a Hillman and the enemy!...Different story now though!!:nod:

And heres the one on the front.......perfection!!

yes love the tiger
love the cortina and lotus :tup:

My first drive when I was 17, all those years ago (1984), was an AUDI 80GTE. What a car!!! Went like stink. The only reason I mention it was that the floor pan rusted through about 5 years later, ended up in the scrapyard, only to be user in banger racing!!! Every body has a regret in life when they look back, and I think my love affair with 100 Coupé S must be a guilt thing...
