Things on the hard drive … the #Hillman Avenger was made in Iran for a while, from 1975 to 1981, but the Iranians kept buying the Hunter (Paykan) so that continued till 2005 (and that’s not counting the Bardo pick-up, which continued to 2015, and Arrow underpinnings wound up beneath the Peugeot RD 1600 and Roa and the original Arisun pick-up, which finally got killed off in 2022). #Chrysler #Rootes

When did the 1966 #Hillman Hunter (#Rootes Arrow) finally die? #IKCO kept its drivetrain alive under the Arisun pick-up till 2022, since every mechanic in Iran cut their teeth on localized Hunter, the #Paykan. That year, the Arisun finally switched over to the regular FWD #Peugeot 405 platform. #WeirdCarMastodon #PSA
