Avenger Success
In the first four days after the new Hillman Avenger was announced in Britain, 20,000 of the cars were ordered. Three large car-hire firms have ordered 1620 Avengers, and a Routes dealer in Bristol sold 200 Avengers in a few days, and ordered 400 more. On the day the car was announced in Britain, the doors of Rootes showrooms in London remained open until midnight to enable people to see the new models.
In Europe the ear will be sold as the Sunbeam 1250 and the Sunbeam 1500.
