  • I Had a 71 Cricket would not run in the rain, what you saved in gas you spent in parts

  • They were the best running made in England (then in Scotland) ordinary car in the 1970s. Way more reliable than a BL, easier on fuel than a Ford. Anything made in the 70s from wherever had to be rustproofed. If Chrysler put PAS in them and bothered to underseal them they could have sold this 'mini' as an economical strongerbodied alternative to a Jap import.

  • I have a '75 Avenger 1300, it goes up the hills fine, handles better than a MKII Ford Escort and its rustproofed. It has never failed to start and gives about 35mpg. The American version I think were all low-compression engines b/c of the emissions laws so they were gutless. The Cricket was just too underpowered and they probabbly should have used the 1725cc engine used in the Hillman Hunter with low-compression and spent $20 rustproofing the bodies in the damn factory!

  • song???

  • I remember the Pinto being advertized at $1.919. We had a Cricket back in the 1970s, It was underpowered for New england hills. Couldn't keep up with traffic going up hill

  • YOW the most amazing thing was the price. Less than $2000?!? M Y, HOW THE DOLLAR HAS FALLEN.

  • And 2 hours later, the Cricket was probably half rusted-through.

    Pretty detailed price description (don't normally hear the part about tax, license, etc., not being included).

  • @clarko95 No it was a lousy car, it was a rebadged Hillman imported from England, they sold a lot of them initially but then they gained such a bad reputation for quality that sales tanked and people bought Japanese cars instead. Chrysler figured this out in short order and started importing Mitsubishi cars from Japan and rebadged them as Dodge Colts.

  • @daigle46 no offense taken, I find it funny how a car known here as the Hilman Avenger Tiger (Avenger was kl enough but they put tiger on for extra coolness), but i guess it coz our cars are like midgets to yours XD
