IIRC all the assembly took place at Linwood for those Avengers - the panels may have been (badly) pressed at Cov, but they were put together in Linwood.  It's not impossible that the Avenger on display at the Kelvin Hall had been cobbled together from panels that failed quality control.

The Pressed Steel plant at Linwood (bought by Chrysler in 1966) produced most of the pressings for Chrysler UK. 

 

When the Avenger went into production at Ryton in 1970 trainloads of pressings and body sub assemblies were sent daily from Linwood.

This went on until '76, when the Alpine went into production at Ryton and Avenger production was transferred to Linwood. 

 

The Avenger at Kelvin Hall (IIRC a blue estate) is actually the very last one off the line.

1968

 

A 1968 would have a flap and not a black plastic grille underneath the windscreen and the battery would be in a recess in the bulkhead,

that was filled in on later models that had the battery behind the RH headlight, like this one:

Verdict: Ringed.

I have owned this van for the past 6 years and used it to renovate 3 houses

 

At your pace you might want to look into a career as a snail hunter.

 

 

 

Just to confirm this van is in the south of France near Carcassonne which is between Toulouse and Perpignan.

 

Just to confirm I'm near Stockport which is between Liverpool and Sheffield.

Having his car painted for 3k and then selling it for 1.5k because it needs a £10 part would make him one of us, if he could form a sentence.

"In 1975, a crap commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for painting spazzy crows on a van that looks shit . These men promptly survived taking it up the tradesman's to the Kings Lynn underground. Today, still wanted by the RSPCA they survive as sellers of misfortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire The Shite-Team."

'as seen in picture varnished draws a crowd where ever it goes'

Hate to disappoint you, chief, but I'm afraid a lost fat bloke on a motorbike isn't technically a crowd.
