Hillman Hunter and Rootes 'Arrows'

The 'Arrows' project had started in 1962 as a cheaper alternative to the stillborn rear-engined Swallow project that was also being considered at this time. The Hillman Hunter launched the range in 1966 taking its name from the 1950s Singer Hunter, and the Singer Vogue was also launched, both with 1725cc or 1500cc engines. In 1977 Chrysler put its own brand on the Hunters in place of 'Hillman' and in 1979 production ended. Iran had been assembling Hunters as the 'Paykan' from 1966, and from 1985-2005 built their own versions with Peugeot mechanics.

The Hunter continued with two changes of grille until 1979.	Hillman Hunter. Launched in 1966, the 'Arrow' range took over from the 'Audax' Minx and Super Minx (and badge siblings).
