Non BX but a real beauty.

Loaded to the hilt with great wodges of retro cool...

But...

There's something about the Avenger which I never liked. I'm not sure if it's the odd taillights or the stubby, drooping tail or the plain jane front end, but I was never a fan. I guess because this one's a Tiger (and thus I realise its comparitive rarity), I'd always admire it but I would never want to buy one myself.

Each to his own, though. :D

Each to his own indeed and if we were all the same it`d get boring after a while.
Floats my boat though, just love the style of the car and this one looks beautiful in my eyes.

Even got those wonderful conical instrument glasses - just like a Porsche 924!

Nice for someone.

I never said they got it right! For one thing the Avenger never got the Hunter overdrive gearbox in any of its many forms - so its a screamer.

I do like em. I think I'd like that more without the spoiler, and maybe if it was lower. I think that'd be uber cool.
But the way the spoiler lines with the side decals shows real thought. You don't get that today :(

I`m glad it`s making decent money, had that been a Mexico or RS2000 it`d probably be four times that amount.
I don`t think there`s anything about that car that doesn`t make me drool, to me it`s perfect in every way!

That seems a good bet BB if they're prepared to pay over 3K for what is essentially an old tin box. :roll: :D
