Details
Being somewhat cash strapped at the time, Chrysler UK were unable to develop a wholly new car to meet demand in the burgeoning new hatchback segment so effectively re-skinned and downsized the Avenger. This meant that, when launched in 1977, it was natural for forces such as the Sussex Police, who had used Avengers extensively, to employ the Sunbeam in a similar unit beat car role in both rural and urban locations. Sunbeams could be seen at stations all over Sussex during the seventies and early eighties, and the car modeled was based at Chichester Police Station. Limited Edition 1,000 pcs. (with certificate)
