My Dad had both when we growing up. The Avenger wasn't a bad car - we had a bright yellow twin carb 1600 estate that pinned you in the seat if you could get traction. I guess it was one of those cars you hear about that left the factory with perfectly matched engine parts. My Dad's Hunter was a stocker, but I remember a friend from school buying one with a Holbay 1725 twin carb engine and having a lot of fun with it before he totaled it (the fate most of his cars met with, unfortunately). Andy_kiwi - you brought back a lot of memories with that post
