  • 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.

  • Impost Making the Imp H.J
    impost Making the Imp H.J. Cyril Weighell, O.B.E., Wh.Sch., C.Eng., M.I.Mech.E., M.I.E.T. The following article on the Imp’s early production planning is by ‘Old Rooter’ Cyril Weighell. Now aged 93, Cyril has lost his eyesight and is recovering from a major operation, though is still pin-sharp in mind as is evident from the quality of this article which was dictated and sent in by Imp Club member and ‘Old Rooter’ Mike Andrews to whom I am most grateful. GP Preamble The Second World War had just begun and on 1st January 1940 I commenced a five-year student apprenticeship with Vauxhall Motors. This was duly completed and several years of experience in production engineering research followed before I was assigned to Vauxhall’s expanded Production Engineering Department for Vauxhall’s new vehicle ranges. Subsequent promotion to Senior Production Engineer put me in charge of planning production of the new engine and transmission ranges for new car and truck models. This included responsibility for jig and tool specification and design as well as specifying and negotiating the purchase and proving of all the machine tools and equipment required. Car and truck vehicle assembly operations were an interesting and demanding added assignment. In 1954 this provided an opportunity to visit General Motors factories in the USA to study manufacturing techniques and, particularly, their developments in the fields of CAD and automation. The wide experience gained in this time proved to be extremely valuable in the years that followed. The Beginning In 1959 an advertisement for a Group Planning Engineer for the Rootes Group led me to Devonshire House where Geoffrey Rootes and Group Production Director, George Shrigley, made me an offer I could not refuse.

  • Remembering Ian Garrad
    Remembering Ian Garrad The Tiger combines the exhilaration and precision of a sports car with the adrenaline rush of a V-8 musclecar Ken Mattice Here’s a car that was specifically created by The Rootes Group to capture a place in the ultra-high performance sports car market of the 60’s. The Sunbeam Tiger was offered with numerous Dealer supplied performance enhancement options that allowed the buyer to increase the performance to any level desired. The Rootes Factory created internal Performance Programs to compete in races and rally’s in Europe and supported several race teams in the USA, dedicated to demonstrate the capability of the Sunbeam Tiger. Ian Garrad was not only responsible for the creation of the Tiger Prototypes; he was in charge of all the LAT Options and race support programs in the USA. Ian was a Rising Star in the Rootes Group corporate world, rising from a Factory Rep position in Toronto Canada in 1951, to Manager of West Coast Sales for the Rootes Group by 1961 in Los Angeles. It was during this period that the Rootes Team Drivers of the day, Graham Hill, Jim Clarke and Stirling Moss, pointed out to Ian that the Sunbeam Alpines that they were competing with in SCCA races were great handling cars, but they needed MORE POWER. The rest of the story has been told many times by many authors, but the basics remain the same. Ian took charge, made preliminary evaluations, found corporate funding, were none was available, selected not one but two fabricators to produce working prototypes, risked his career by shipping the best prototype back to England to demonstrate to management a car he hoped would capture a significant piece of the 60’s performance sports car market.
