Plymouth Cricket (1971-73) Engine 1498cc S4 Registration Number BRW 917 K PLYMOUTH SET /photos/45676495@N05/sets/72157623690509863 The Hillman Avenger was sold in North America as a captive import by Chrysler under the name of Plymouth Cricket. Essentially a badge engineered car sold with a number of minor changes. There was no 1300cc model and only the four door Saloons and five door Estates were offered.. Side parking lights were added, and front disc brakes were standardised; these were originally optional in the UK. The single carburettor / manual choke combination was standard. From 1972, the single carburettor / automatic choke combination, dual carburettors, and air conditioning were all options. Due to American federal laws regarding headlight design, all Cricket models regardless of trim level used the round four headlight grille of the "GL" and "GT" model Avengers. The Cricket was discontinued mid-way through 1973 but the name lived on in Canada on a rebadged Dodge Colt built by Mitsubishi. This car is a Ryton built RHD model and may have been a prototype.
