MisterZ ◊ 2017-04-28 08:47	Wow, talk about rare! Way ahead of it's time - hatchbacks were a very new thing in 1971. I'm not sure it would have taken off here, although Honda did have some success with the Civic in 1973. Edit: just saw a Gremlin here in Australia in 2023! The first one I've ever seen in Australia. -- Last edit: 2023-09-10 03:41:56
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2017-04-28 09:18	And way ahead of those rare hatchbacks the Renault 4 (1962), Renault 16 (1965), Hillman Imp (1963), Austin A40 Countryman (1959) and Austin Maxi (1969), not to mention the 1940s commercial versions of the Citroën Traction Avant. -- Last edit: 2017-04-28 10:11:40

Hillman Imp is not a hatchback, nor is the Austin A40. The Maxi I don't believe was sold in Australia.

Keats ◊ 2017-04-28 09:47	MisterZ wrote Wow, talk about rare! Mmm, what are the odds of a one-of-a-kind vehicle popping up in a TV drama? I suspect Crawfords had some sort of deal going with AMI at the time - "Homicide" star Leonard Teale raced a Toyota Corolla as an AMI works driver, the AMI dealership featured heavily in a episode of "Division 4", and several Rebels were used in their shows, along with Hornets, a Javelin, an Ambassador, and the Gremlin. Crawfords also had a Rebel set up as a camera car.

johnfromstaffs ◊ 2017-04-28 10:14	"Mmm, what are the odds of a one-of-a-kind vehicle popping up in a TV drama?" Check out coachbuilt Royces, Bentleys and Daimlers. For example /vehicle_655433-Bentley-R-Type-B77ZX-1954.html -- Last edit: 2017-04-28 10:19:00

dsl ◊ 2017-04-28 13:47	MisterZ wrote Hillman Imp is not a hatchback..... Pity. It would be the only rear-engined hatchback I can think of.

johnfromstaffs ◊ 2017-04-28 14:53	You can put stuff in through the rear window of an Imp, ergo it is a hatchback.
