dsl ◊ 2014-03-08 20:50	May 74 launch Sunseeker limited edition based on 1600cc DL with automatic. Rare colour (later briefly available in normal range), red instead of blue grille badge but old 1250/1500 shape, strange vinyl roof over mid and front only in either white or black, Rostyles and other minor bits inside. I never understood why early special Avenger editions were automatic only (see Top Hat as well) - they sold with all the glamour of tinned semolina pudding. And to much the same limited market. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonnee/3297321081/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonnee/3298408244/ http://car-from-uk.com/sale.php?id=87778&country=uk DVLA details for GKB 714N are: Date of Liability 01 09 1987 Date of First Registration 07 10 1974 Year of Manufacture 1974 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1600cc CO₂ Emissions Not Available Fuel Type PETROL Export Marker N Vehicle Status Unlicensed Vehicle Colour RED Vehicle Type Approval Not Available
