Quote]#383 MIKE VINCENT – 1975 HILLMAN AVENGERA member of Hamilton car club since 1987, competing in club hillclimbs and sprints. In 1991 Mike entered his first rally and competed throughout the 90s on gravel and tarmac rally’s. In 2000 Mike began competing in Targa and continued until 2007, where he achieved first overall classic at Targa Rotorua and third overall classic in the main event.
1975 HILLMAN AVENGER:1975 Hillman Avenger, owned, developed and campaigned in regional, national and Targa Rallies since 1992. Revenga has been improved and upgrade continuously and now runs a 2 litre (still avenger) engine that produces 200 flywheel horsepower through tilton twin plate and quaife 5 speed to escort lsd rear end. Currently the body is undergoing a freshen with new panel and painting, having the motor refreshed this winter and new headers built. The car weighs 900 kgs in rally trim and would go on a diet for your hillclimb and performs really well and is always very competitive.

mikes a member on here it was he who had the two door for sale a couple of years ago,i got the lsd back axle out of it from him,i believe his co driver got the rest of the good bits of it.
guessing the 2l engine is a brazillian block.
