Hi, I’m Terry, I live in perth Australia. I worked at Rootes of Maidstone in the 70’s, I did my apprenticeship there and worked on all these cars on here at some time or other. I owned a 1974 Imp super, and a 1974 Hunter GL, which I wish I still owned now. I’m hoping to Aquire an Arrows car in the near future, to restore in my retirement, in a couple of years . Regards Terry
Hi Terry Welcome and I expect any Rootes cars still extant down there may be less worried by tin worm than here???
Personally I think it's a shame Rootes didn't tap into the colonial 'ute' market like a few others did. A 'series' Rapier pick up would be something to behold
Thanks for the welcome. The Rootes cars are quite expensive over here, so I will be sourcing the car in the UK. Also I don’t think there are any H120’s or Hunter Gls’s here which is what I would like. I will hopefully get it through Paul Marshall as he seems to have a few at times.
Hi Terry, Another ex employee (Only I was while it was Peugeot in charge at Ryton.) I have a 66 mk1 Hunter (320th off the line) and a 72 Rapier Fastback as the Hunter is now back in the garage (last did it through about 30 years ago when I first got it) The prices we see on the various facebook pages make them seem quite reasonable compared to here in the UK. Check out the following.
