Really cheap alpine!!! this looks like a bargin. $900ono!

In the auction they say it is a 1300 but carjam says it is a 1600 "Hillman Avenger Alpine SLS" Never heard of an SLS model, think they may mean GLS. It is an auto also.

NEED TO SELL because moving OVERSEAS in three weeks!!
Recently had a oil change, new air filter and spark plugs.
Dif has recently been rebuilt aswell as, a new handbrake.
Little dent in left handside rear and a few rips in the leather interior.
Is cheap on gas. A mint little run around, and a very cool, eye catching car.

[JoKer]

I am beyond tempted....

[oldschool]

Yeah you better buy it before I do Jarrod...LOL

That's a super rare Alpine/GLS hybrid...
As they were changing over to the Chrysler models, the last of the Hillman Alpines had Chrysler bits like the GLS vinyl roof and the mag steel wheels...also fitted with Valiant upholstery because the Alpine interior was no longer being made..!!
I remember the last of the Hunters had the Valiant upholstery too.
It may also have a 1.75" single carb rather than the twin 1.5's fitted to earlier Alpines.

Somebody buy that car NOW...!!

[JoKer]

sweet info : just waiting on reply from trader

just noticed its auto too LOL

[avenga]

Yes! Please buy it Jarrod.

It is pretty cool, half Alpine, half GLS with valiant seats. Pretty unique and awesome Avenger, and at $900 it is a steal!

[NZTiger]

Its not a hybrid or half Alpine/GLS.

Todds started making these in January 75 and were an addition to the Alpine in the Avenger range. I remember following the pilot build car through the factory when I stared at Todds, it was Apache red with beige roof.
They were only made as autos so mechanically they were an auto Alpine with upgrade trim. As with Alpine they had twin 150 Strombergs initially which changed to a single 1.75 for the last ones built in 77. They were all 1600cc.

Detail differences..
Vinyl roof extended onto boot as UK GLS
Silver grill instead of black
Adjustable Valiant door mirrors
rev counter
New plush seats with the front seats having adjustable headrests that used the back frame from the Galant 1850 grafted to the Avenger cushion. Fabric was an option for the first time in the Avenger range. Vinyl and fabric materials were common to all Todd assembled cars of the time. Note the fabric was rubbish and was bad affect with UV.
Centre console extended to surround auto shifter
Door trims had carpet insert along the bottom.
Side mouldings
Rear door switches for interior light
There are probably more....
