pandamonium Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 I have just purchased some new shite!What do you think?1.6 ltrs of powaaa
pogweasel Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 You utter, utter swine!That looks completely delicious. (Please don't let your mates with the fancy paint & 17in Halfords wheels near it)
fotorabia Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 beauty mate...wouldnt mind Purdey sitiing on my lap in this..
M'coli Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 That's great! that'll be one of the Linwood built ones, IIRC, and oddly enough in 1978 my dad painted his Norton a very similar colour to your Avenger ...Mine failed the MOT yesterday, on quite a wee list of things that are time consuming to sort out...
whitevanman Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Nice one sir..............I'm almost gonna allow myself to be envious think I might have some spares for it.......will look in the shed when I get a moment
Justin Case Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Nice one I once owned an orange one with half a white vinyl roof which would be the ultimate Avenger I wonder if any still exist?
wuvvum Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Wow, nice purchase. I'm jealous! 1600 Avengers are great - so much better to drive than you'd imagine. That one looks in proper nice nick too.
Torsten2001 Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 That's spot on, if you hit that I'll hit you back!
Spottedlaurel Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Looks great! As above, no silly mod's please. Looks pleasingly like cars that were around in the mid-late '80s then just disappeared.
Richard Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 The engines in these are incredibly tough. I think they would easily have cracked 250k if the rest of the car had held together long enough.
r.welfare Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 That is unbelievably lovely. First dibs if you sell, please!
Mr_Bo11ox Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 That is a total honey. Maybe you can use it to teach Mrs Monium about manual chokes, then a whole new world of shite will beocme available to you both.Lay off it with the grinder + trim rings!
pandamonium Posted April 13, 2009 Author Posted April 13, 2009 So I can't get these? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0146358996
AnthonyG Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 A lovely looking car, Mr Monium. Well done. I have a Chrysler UK service manual for the Hillman models - let me know if you want it. Most of it will be very relevant.Look forward to seeing it in the flesh at some show or meet .
carlo Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Remember that car from the particularly good photos of it on the ebay listing. And presumably you still got a bit of a bargain!
pandamonium Posted April 13, 2009 Author Posted April 13, 2009 Yeah, the photos definately made the ad. I reckon I would have got it for less with poor photos.
Torsten2001 Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 So I can't get these?http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0146358996Yeah, but no more!
Timewaster Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 So I can't get these?http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0146358996Yeah, but no more!Lol. I love the idea that any mods have to be given the all clear from a bunch of strangers (nutters?) on the internet.
matt2cv Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Nice looking car.Those later Avengers with the horizontal lights really look very Marina-ish from the rear three quarter view.
AnthonyG Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Those later Avengers with the horizontal lights really look very Marina-ish from the rear three quarter view.How dare you!
pandamonium Posted April 13, 2009 Author Posted April 13, 2009 Dunno. Must be some silly tw@t playing with photo editing!?Lol!On a more serious note, I have now painted the rims, as they were showing some rust spots.
