Originally launched as the Hillman Avenger by the Rootes Group in 1970, as a rear wheel drive, small family car, with the advertising tag - The Myth Exploder, and available as a Saloon or Estate car with 1248cc or 1498cc S4 OHV engines.
Rootes production of the Avenger spanned 1970-76 before the Coventry based operation was taken over by Chrysler of Europe, who continued with production at Ryton-on-Dunsmore, Coventry between 1976-79. Unlike any previous Rootes design, there were no badge-engineered Humber or Singer versions in the UK market.

From 1976 under Chrysler stewardship the model was rebadged and had a comprehensive face lift, including new frontal treatment, a new dashboard. The greatest changes were at the rear where distinctive light cluster was replaced and the fuel filler cap moved from the rear to the right hand side. During this period the Avenger was exported to the USA as the Plymouth Cricket.,

Following the departure of Chrysler the Avenger continued in production under new owners Talbot between 1979-81 under the Talbot brand with the Avenger remaining in production alongside the hatchback-only Horizon to meet the demand which remained for traditional saloons and estates in this sector Unlike newer Talbot models such as the Horizon, the Avenger and Sunbeam retained the Chrysler Pentastar badge, instead of the Talbot logo featuring a letter T inside a circle. Production continued until the middle of 1981, when PSA closed the Linwood production plant and concentrated all British production at the Ryton plant

Even then the car continued to be produced in Argentina as the Dodge 1500 between 1971-88
