OOT

This is Barry's Humber Sceptre, it's off the road at the moment awaiting some welding, but he wants to sorted out and use it as his daily driver. Sounds like a plan to me Barry! Good luck, and thanks for the pictures.

Ingenuity

Translation: Paykan is the corollary of engineers' ingenuity, and labor’s hard work in Iran.

Notice that there is no mentioning of British Engineers, maybe IranNational were trying to save them the embarrassment in the future. ;)

Thanks to Nader for submitting this lovely old Paykan advert.

Rapier

Although that this blog is about the Arrow series, but I am oblige to mention the Subeam Rapier Coupe Fastback, which was an attempt by Rootes to "stylized" the Arrow platform.

The Arrow Rapier launched in October 1967, was a coupé based on the chassis of the Hillman Hunter Estate. Although the Rapier used the tail lamps and rear valance from the Hunter Estate, the rest of its structure was unique. In all, 46,204 were produced from 1967-76.

Ok... lets get back to our PaykanHunter business shall we?... ;)

Hunter Taxi

A Hunter Taxi?! I thought a Paykan taxi was something unique, but I guess not! Others also had the pleasure of being chauffeured around town in a Hillman Hunter! ;)

Paykan Genocide

And here I was getting all worked up about one Hunter Topaz?! Look at this CARNAGE!!!... Shut Down that Claws of Death! Turn Off that Forklift! Put the Torch Out! For Heaven's Sake Man Drop that HAMMER!!!... Somebody Stop them please!!.. This is just too hard to witness... Leave those poor defenseless Paykans alone!!!... :@

What can you do?... The Government in Iran few years ago started giving incentive so that people could replace their old and worn out Paykans for, you guessed it right, KIA Prides and cars in that nature! This was mainly to tackle air pollution epidemic in most cities in Iran.
