Looks like it's being shagged by the IVECO behind it. And nine years later Stellantis was born.

A lad in my class at school's mum had one of those with a similarish number plate - E424XBW.  At the time our maths teacher had a decrepit Citroën GS with the registration XBW242V.  I found this quite an interesting coincidence.  Yes, I was already a sad nerdy little twat at the age of 10.

Just out of curiosity, how easy are these to get parts for ? 
Did a google search last night and found body panels are available but just wondered about brakes, suspension parts etc

The aftermarket Selmar alarm, probably.

I certainly can't remember my old Avenger having that.

Quite straightforward to get mechanical parts. Brakes are standard Lucas girling affair - and with the underpinnings being the same as the later Sunbeams  there are plenty of parts hoarded by people that have raced or rallied them.  The owners clubs have had some parts remade - and with the Avenger being made in South America up until the 90s there is still a good band of enthusiast's .  They're easy to maintain - great fun to drive if looked after properly - and it's only rampant rust you need to look out for in the sills jacking points inner wings and front chassis legs.  Straight out of the box from new they were a nicer drive than an Escort. A hugely underated car now due to the brand being washed up in the tide of the Rootes Chrysler Talbot PSA  mix up.
