Anglia Car Auctions, King's Lynn -
"Purchased new by Mr Richardson of Swaffham from Thompsons of Dereham on the 1st August 1974. We have been advised that Mr Richardson retained the car for several years although only 2,500 miles were covered during it's first year on the road and the original tax disc dated 1975 remains in the windscreen. It was not taxed again until 2015. The Avenger is badged as a DL model but is a limited edition Sunseeker in a very 1970's colour of Orange Blossom and were only sold for one year. It is believed that SPW 816N is the only auto Sunseeker Avenger 4-door on UK roads today. Due to it's rarity, Corgi Toys contacted the present owner in order to make a scaled model and one of these is retained in the history file. The car has been taken to car shows during the last three years and used as a prop on a few film sets. It's mileage now is only 3,040. It comes with the original green log book, certificate of authenticity, original service book with one stamp, original wallet and owner's handbook, original sales brochure, a few MoTs and spare keys. MoT expired on the 21st May 2017. Chassis number R4811178768T6F.
V5 present
Estimate: £4,750 - 5,750
Result: £5,250."
