Not sure whether it's been posted on here but Roy Axe died last week aged 73. For those who don't know of him he was one of the British car industry's (when we had one) most respected designers.
Cars that I know of that he designed included the 'Arrow' range for Rootes, that's Hillman Hunter, Sunbeam Rapier...... Hillman Avenger, Chrysler Sunbeam, Chrysler Alpine (the one that got ripped off by Moskovich)
and the Rover 800.
Looking back I've had 3 of 'em.... I've owned an Avenger, a Rover 827 vitesse and My project car (Rapier) have all been of his creation.
