Woah, AMC Pacer? Ain't seen one of them in the U.K. ever, let alone a Pacer Wagon!  Though weren't they imported along with Jeeps?  -- Last edit: 2010-11-28 03:23:23 |

What is the width of a parking spot in the U.K.? In the U.S. it's 9 feet, or 2.7432 meters, and I've often thought that was too tight for a lot of our own coupes. -- Last edit: 2011-07-26 22:54:27 |

It would be less than that. Most cars sold here are around 2 meters wide and even then with most modern cars it is a bit tight. |

May have been a crew car, as it gets around. It appears in a couple of scenes, parked in different locations. Definitely a rare sight on UK roads. |

Pacers were offered for sale in UK, with RHD conversion developed by importer - 1976 Autocar road test and dealer list, but very doubtful they actually sold more than a handful. And even fewer estates, although I've got a half-memory of possibly seeing one on a motor show stand. Another UK review "On home ground, the Pacer's ‘lemon’ image was somewhat belied by the fact that sales in the first year were huge – 145,528 units – with the domestic magazines saying polite things about it through gritted teeth in the name of patriotism. The British press were a lot less forgiving of the Pacer’s weaknesses when the car was offered in the UK in 1976. In fact, it got one of the most brutal editorial pannings of the decade, when the weekly Motor announced on its cover: ‘We test the Pacer – and wish we hadn’t.’ Inside, the piece labelled it simply ‘slow, thirsty, expensive’. At £5400 the right-hand drive Pacers were in contention with Jaguars and up-scale Opels; in reality, the only point of comparison was the fuel consumption. Shortly afterwards, AMC stopped importing cars into the UK altogether." |
