Re: Chrysler UK & Hillmans

Wow,
Someone actually remembers the Cricket...!

I'm No help here, but at least my family had one. We took it to germany, and had to have it repaired with parts from Hillman...several times. It Wasn't a very good car, but you can't find any of them here in the U.S. anymore. We sold ours (1971) in germany in 1974 to another USArmy family in Munich. It was rust red and that's about all I remember, except the dash board was "cool" and the car was tiny. (I was between 5 and 8 years old when we had it)
It was the only "foreign" car my Dad ever bought.
He felt it would be more suited for europe's smaller streets.

Thanks for bringing up the memory!
