  Hillman Hunter - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
The Hillman Hunter was a sedan automobile produced by the Rootes Group (later Chrysler Europe) from 1966 to 1979.
The Hunter is considered by many to be the last "true" Rootes car since it was developed without any Chrysler influence, although the Avenger lays equal claim to that title.
Following Rootes' takeover in 1967 by Chrysler, the various Hunter derivatives were slowly discontinued until only the Hillman version was left by 1976, when it was rebadged as a Chrysler for the last 3 years of its life.

 Hillman Car Club of South Australia — Scott Allen: 1971 Hillman Hunter 660 GT
Having no background in motor racing like many, where it’s passed on through their fathers, and 3 years of Go-kart racing in the early 90s, it was decided to be too difficult, even though I have worked in the vehicle manufacturing industry for 18 years.
With a copy of the weekly Trading Post in hand I spotted a Hillman Hunter GT in the wrecking section and organised an inspection with the owner.
Our families drove Hillmans from the early Minx's to Hunters so I was familiar with the different models.

 Rootes-Chrysler.co.uk - covering Chrysler Europe, Rootes Group, and Talbot cars
Hillman, Humber, and Rover all originated in Coventry, a center of the cycle trade.
William Hillman, an engineer, started in the cycle business, which made him a millionaire; his first car started in 1907 with 24 horsepower.
His company was successful, largely with a 9 horsepower model introduced in 1913 and sold after World War I. Unfortunately, a brand new luxury straight-eight (2.6 liters) was introduced just as the Depression began, leaving the company in need of cash, leading to the merger with Humber (which was already under Rootes control).

 1972 Hillman Hunter GL Comments - Carsurvey.org
The Hunter rusted dreadfully, body was flimsily built, doors would soon drop, front strut turrets corroded so struts punched through them.

I have a 1975 Hillman Hunter GL and I am in need of an engine in reasonable condition.

 Hillman
In 1926 Hillman released the 14 horsepower, then in 1928 Hillman unveiled the incredibly expensive 2.6 litre Straight Eight model; new from the ground up, it was unashamedly built to appeal to the well heeled.
The Hillman Imp was the first mass-produced British car to have the engine in the back, and the first to use a light aluminium alloy die-cast engine.
First introduced into Australia as the "Arrow", the Hunter was a conventional design, square four-door sedan (and later estate) with a live rear axle and ohv engine (initially 1725cc with a 1496cc in 1970).

 Australian Hillman Hunters
The Hillman Hunter, released in Britain in October 1966, was developed from the much loved Hillman Minx and shared most of its mechanical components with that car.
The early cars are known as the Hunter HB series and the original range consisted simply of a basic Hillman Arrow sedan and a slightly better-equipped Hillman Hunter.
A wagon, the Hunter Safari, was added to the line-up in May 1968, and in November of the same year minor changes were made to front end styling — rectangular headlights replaced the previous round ones and the HC range was born.

 SUNBEAM RAPIER COUPE
Just over a year ago, the revitalized Rootes group announced the new Hillman Hunter, after a lengthy development period, and set in motion a complete rationalization of their medium- sized saloon ranges.
In the intervening 12 months, the complete Minx-Super Minx-Gazelle range of cars has been replaced by new cars evolving from the Hunter, and with the release the new Humber Sceptre in September, it became clear that the days of the good old Sunbeam Rapier were numbered.
Inside the car, there is a new facia and instrument panel worthy of the Rapier as a sports saloon, with a full battery of clearly-marked round instruments in front of the driver, and a Kienzle clock in the centre of the panel.

Hillman found a local distributor who started assembling the Hunter to fill the niche and really beat up the comparatively ancient Austin Maxi and Rover sedan.

 Cult '60s icon near end of the road - World - www.theage.com.au
Iranian replicas of the 1967 Hillman Hunter dominate the streets of Tehran.
Axed in Britain 25 years ago, this boxy little icon of the '60s and '70s has enjoyed a lingering afterlife on the rutted highways and polluted streets of Iran, where as many as 70 per cent of passenger cars on the road are Paykans.
Manufactured under licence in Iran since the late 1960s, the Paykan was to accompany the Hillman into the twilight realm of fond but embarrassing memories of the 1970s but was reprieved at the last minute thanks to the Iranian revolution.
