Citroen C3 Pluriel, they made various versions. Ours is the 1.6 petrol TC 16 valve. But they did make smaller engined versions, it sure is unusual. (Make sure the roof is in tip top condition and preferably the arches have never been removed. Also check both rear windows work properly.) Easy enough to work on as basically they are just a C3 with a funny body/roof/boot.

Knowing the temperatures at which things get baked at in kilns, (We have friends who make china dolls) I don't see how else they could make them easily, bar moulding them in two halves then somehow firing them together again, which on such a thin thing would be very dodgy, expensive and time-consuming. As it is I bet they had lots of fails.

1972: Hillman Avenger Tiger[edit]
.jpg)
Hillman Avenger Tiger Mk2Named to evoke memories of the Sunbeam Tiger, the Avenger Tiger concept began as a publicity exercise. Avenger Super (four-door) cars were modified by the Chrysler Competitions Centre under Des O'Dell and the Tiger model was launched in March 1972. Modifications included the 1500 GT engine with an improved cylinder head with enlarged valves, twin Weber carburetors and a compression ratio of 9.4:1. The engine now developed 92.5 bhp (69 kW) at 6,100 rpm. The suspension was also uprated, whilst brakes, rear axle, and gearbox are directly from the GT.
A distinctive yellow colour scheme ("Sundance") with a bonnet bulge, rear spoiler and side stripes was standard, set off with "Avenger Tiger" lettering on the rear quarters.
Road test figures demonstrated a 0–60 mph time of 8.9 seconds and a top speed of 108 mph (174 km/h). These figures beat the rival Ford Escort Mexico, but fuel consumption was heavy. Even in 1972, the Tiger developed a reputation for its thirst.
All Avenger Tigers were assembled by the Chrysler Competitions Centre and production figures are vague but around 200 of the initial Mark 1 seems likely.
In October 1972, Chrysler unveiled the more "productionised" Mark 2 Tiger. The Avenger GL bodyshell with four round headlights was used. Mechanically identical to the earlier cars(from contemporary road tests, however,there were better performances and fuel consumption), the bonnet bulge was lost although the bonnet turned matt black, and there were changes to wheels and seats. These cars went on sale at £1,350. Production was around 400. Red ("Wardance") was now available as well as yellow ("Sundance"), both with black detailing.
