Pat Jones has spent some 20-25 hours so far welding pieces of metal into the multitude of holes in the car created by the dreaded rust bug. After all these hours welding I can report that we have all the rear sub- frame replaced. -
2008 Dodge Avenger Product Heritage
Contact: Brandt Rosenbusch 2008 Dodge Avenger Product Heritage The First Avenger Plans for the first car to carry the Avenger name were initiated by the Rootes Group (later to become Chrysler Europe) in England in 1963. Intended to replace Rootes’ best-selling vehicle of the time, the Hillman Minx, the project was delayed by funding issues; another car, the Arrow, would become the replacement for the Minx. Still, Rootes executives saw the need for a smaller car, and consideration of what they would call the “B-Car” began in earnest in November 1965. It would prove to be the first and last car developed by Rootes, following its 1967 takeover by Chrysler Corporation. Said to have drawn its inspiration from Detroit, the new car featured a readily identifiable “semi-fastback” design that would become its trademark. Much consideration was given to the needs of female customers; fashion consultants were employed during the design phase. The Hillman Avenger would feature a four-link rear suspension in place of traditional leaf springs, standard front anti-roll bars and a selection of four inline-four cylinder engines. The Hillman Avenger was introduced in February 1970 to popular acclaim. This B-class vehicle, built in sedan and wagon versions to compete with the Austin 1300, Ford Escort, Vauxhall Viva and other small cars, was designed to be the basic no-frills Hillman, with a four-speed manual gearbox an all-iron overhead valve engine. Four-door saloons were built first, followed by two-door saloons and five-door “estate” models. Many variations of the basic Avenger appeared over the years. -

Smallcar6309 Giant Road Test Hillman Super Minx Small
HILLMAN SUPER MINX saloon convertible station wagon THE SUPER MINX HAS AN odd place in the British market. Its engine size puts it in the ever- popular medium category among people who think of 1\ litres as big, yet an unusual structural solidity combined with what the trade calls a complete specification jacks its price up out of the usual range. In fact it fights against one of the walnut-encrusted products of the Group's own badge-engineers, the ageing Singer Gazelle, as well as Standard-Triumph's equally draw• ing-room Vitesse 6. Accordingly it must get its sales on deep-down worth rather than surface appeal. An uncommonly solid and heavy and apparently very rigid steel monocoque structure makes a fine basis. Rootes has been building integral body-chassis units for a long time and this one, more than most in our experience, shows the benefit of careful and progressive development. All three basic body styles use the same steel pan and the same box structure and sub- frame forward of the scuttle. The small car convertible, partly because it has two very wide doors instead of four relatively less weakening ones but largely because it lacks the sheet steel roof on which chassis engineers usually rely for so much rigidity, carries quite a lot of extra metal in the lower platform in the form of welded-up crossmembers and box bracings. The idea is that this local beefing should compensate for loss of strength elsewhere. Rootes has obviously been care• ful from the start to banish road- excited body noise in the form of resonance and wheel rumble. -

'Belco' Automotive Colour Service
'BELCO' AUTOMOTIVE COLOUR SERVICE This list shows the production colours used by British Car Manufacturers since Autumn 1956. It also shows colours for certain imported cars which are in popular use in the United Kingdom. Within each year the colours are arranged according to Car Manufacturer and Model and the 'Belco' reference number is shown against each. Reference numbers for Metallic Finishes are prefixed P031. Many of the colours shown are in the 'Belco' Ready Mixed Range, which is adjusted from time to time to cover all popular colours. Details are given in frequent issues of the 'Belco' Ready Mixed Leaflet. These colours are matched to the Motor Manufacturers patterns and can be obtained immediately from stock. To match other colours, Basic Colours and Reduced Tinters should be used in the proportions given in the 'Belco' Mixing Scheme Handbook. Mixing formulae are also printed on the reverse of each 'Belco' colour chip. Early each year, all Colours used by Manufacturers during the preceding twelve months are issued in the yearly edition of the 'Belco' Colour Fan of Motor Manu• facturers' Production Colours. This Fan Book includes all colours introduced during the period, though individual chips for each new colour will have also been issued to refinishers at the time of release.
