As I said earlier I worked for a Chrysler dealership mid 70s/early 80s. I went on a course at the Ryton plant near Coventry one time, we had lunch in the executive dining room , oo-er proper silver service waiters and waitresses, they knew how to keep the knobs happy. We had a visit around the assembly line watching them throwing the Avengers together “whatever you do, do not under any circumstance talk to anyone on the line” we were told. Apparently they needed very little reason to down tools and stop working. In hindsight all the cars they produced, Avengers, Imps, Hunters etc. were absolute crap. Then they integrated with Simca, producing the Horizons and Alpines and they were just as bad if not worse. Ooh there was some real rubbish around. Like the time they “found” 200/300 Simca 1501 estate cars on an estate 2 years after they went out of production - they got sold as new models.
What I did like, although not on sale officially over here, were the Matra Simca Bagheera and later Matra Murena models, 3 seater sports cars based on the Simca 1100 and then the Chrysler 2litre. Both were probably crap as well in reality. Those are days best left unremembered......
