	Paykan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Paykan was based on the 1967 Hillman Hunter, which was originally designed and manufactured by the British Rootes Group.
		Although the original design had relatively high gasoline consumption, the Paykan remained a reliable and highly sought-after vehicle in Iran, and during its last years the order backlog was nearly two years long.
		The "New Paykan" that is currently being produced is the Iran Khodro Samand.

	Iran International Magazine - On Agenda
		Paykan was an ideal car from the viewpoint of appearance, body space, and engine acceleration for the Iranian people four decades ago and rapidly found a place among the youth and the middle class.
		Paykan manufacture took a nosedive after 1979 and fell from 84,000 to 56,000 in 1980 and 49,000 in 1982.
		Paykan was produced in Iran as a die-hard vehicle with vast aftersales services and suitable for climatic conditions of Iran while its production was stopped in England some 30 years ago.

		The Paykan is of conventional design, a square four-door sedan with a live rear axle and OHV (overhead valve) engine (initially 1725cc with a 1496cc in 1970 and 1600cc in recent years).
		Paykan production had earlier been planned to be phased out in 1978, and replaced with the Peugeot 305 assembly line.
		Asked why the main Paykan production line, which was supposed to cease operation by December 20, would be stopped after a three-month delay, Danesh-Fahim had said earlier that the company would not be able to stop production until March.

	The Scotsman - International - Iran's pack-horse Paykan comes to end of long and winding road (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		The square-cut and petrol-guzzling Paykan is familiar to Britons as a derivative of the Rootes model of the 1960s and 1970s, and many of those spluttering through the tides of Tehran traffic are well over 30 years old.
		Paykans are the butt of numerous jokes alluding to the car’s popular image as a struggling under-performer.
		Iranians discuss the production years of their Paykans like vintage wines, the owners of earlier models proudly boasting that the engines were British-made back in the 1970s.

		The Paykan was once a car that would turn heads - at least when production commenced here in 1967 under a deal with Talbot, another doomed British motor manufacturer.
		The Paykan's fuel efficiency is also as appalling as its looks, drinking the same amount of petrol as a 12-cylinder Lamborghini supercar.
		So at Iran Khodro's sprawling plant west of Tehran, the last Paykan is due to be bolted together within weeks - something the workforce have yet to come to terms with.

	Atieh Bahar: News
		The jalopy that dominated the market for decades - a frumpy 35-year- old British-born sedan called the Paykan - is being pushed aside partly by yearning for the new and different, and partly by the Islamic republic's effort to export something else beside oil.
		First made in Britain as the Hunter Hillman, the Paykan remains Iran's most popular car despite the fact that nary a screw has been redesigned since the first one was built here in 1967.
		The Paykan - the name means arrow - was introduced as a "national car," with a promise that each Iranian would own one.
