In Beaded Wheels 350, writer Peter Cooper identified a number of potential classic cars that were club eligible, in that they were 30-plus years old, and would not break the bank in terms of acquisition costs. Among the cars he identified were the Hillman Hunter and some variants which included the Hillman Avenger. Interestingly enough the Hillman Avenger was the first set of wheels for the owner of this little Japanese gem that belongs to the writer’s son and daughter-in-law. This little red Mazda has managed to remain unmolested since new primarily because it remained in one family’s ownership off the proverbial radar for some 36 years in Christchurch.
