PaykanHunter Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 !!!URGENT!!! This 1968 Sunbeam Arrow, located in eastern Oregon, is in grave danger of getting scrapped by its current owner. If you think you can save this car please contact the owner or myself Shahin@paykanhunter.com According to my extensive research into Rootes Arrow series for my Blog: http://www.PaykanHunter.com there are only 3 Arrow Wagon exist in the US, including this one. Somebody needs to save this car! http://eastoregon.craigslist.org/cto/2393141941.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaykanHunter Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 Who said Hunters were Meek?!... Ha?!.... Simply Spectacular!!! This is Ernest's Holbay Hunter, pictures were taken over the past ten years. The car has been re-shelled two years ago, the most recent photos are the JIH 536 reg. Wish I could say my Dad's Paykan was as fast as this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaykanHunter Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 What you witnessing here is the glorious 1.6L Hillman Avenger engine, all Paykans were fitted with the Avenger engine since early 80s, when Rootes went boobs up. Then for the last few years of production Iran khodro fuel injected them producing something around 90HP, don't get too excited now.... It is smooth power but I have heard that it has lots of electrical issues. Last Paykan saloon was produced in 2005, but they are still building the PickUp version called BARDO. Also notice the very sophisticated Hood Inner that all Paykans were fitted with, something very unique to them, no other Arrow series had Hood Inner.

TagoraSX Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Did the body panels remain the same throughout its production in Iran? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaykanHunter Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 Did the body panels remain the same throughout its production in Iran?Yes it Did! But Paykan got a Face-Lift around 1979. Interesting thing is it was done by Chrysler Rootes. This is the prototype, picture was taken at Rootes Design Studio courtyard in Coventry.

eddyramrod Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 By the way.... found another Hunter the other day, down a side road near me. Haven't been able to get a photo yet, but I will at some point. I found a lovely one for sale in Limassol a while back*: light green metallic, about 1973, for a mere 1500 euros. Really should have bought it... *Like about two years now..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 every man should experience what owning a Paykan is like! It would have been a nostalgia trip...Me, 1982, with my 1967 Minx 1725 Automatic. I think this was before I started upgrading the interior. And 18 months later I had this. 1969 Sceptre with overdrive. The only car I've had that was stolen from me. I did get it back but it never felt the same.

PaykanHunter Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 A Sunbeam version seen at Canvey Island Transport Museum in Essex way back in 2004! Awesome! Yes I've seen photos of this car before, Rootes discontinued the Singer name in 1970, and then re-badged the left over Singer Vogue as Sunbeam Vogue, very rare indeed, cause the Sunbeam name was only used for the exported models of the Arrow series. Thanks for posting the photo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
