===Chrysler Hunter=== [[File:1979 Chrysler Hunter (6924828701).jpg|thumb|1979 Chrysler Hunter Saloon]] The Hillman Hunter was rebranded as the Chrysler Hunter for the UK market in September 1976, receiving at the same time a four headlight frontal treatment similar to that of the Hunter GLS model and the Humber Sceptre.<ref name=Autocar197709>{{cite magazine|magazine=[[Autocar (magazine)|Autocar]] |title = News: Hunters get new look|page=17| date = 17 September 1977}}</ref> In order to try to prolong the model life an improved level of equipment included a central console and a voltmeter.<ref name=Autocar197709/> The Super version also featured an aluminium-head engine and viscous fan coupling along with reclining seats, a vinyl-covered roof and "simulated wood treatment" for the facia and door sills.<ref name=Autocar197709/> By this time, however, Chrysler UK dealers had been selling the French-built [[Chrysler Alpine]] for more than two years: more than ten years after the launch of the original Hillman Hunter, the Chrysler Hunter was self-evidently a run-out model, and relatively few were produced.<ref name=Autocar197709/> According to [[How Many Left]], only 7 remain in the UK with only 1 still on the road. The European operations of Chrysler were sold to [[Peugeot]] just before the end of Hunter production in 1979, although the Chrysler branding was briefly retained, with the [[Talbot (automobile)|Talbot]] marque being introduced across Europe from 1 August 1979. It was effectively replaced by the [[Talbot Solara]] β a four-door saloon version of the Alpine hatchback β which was launched in April 1980.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rootes-chrysler.co.uk/car-development/dev-alpine.html|title=Development of the Chrysler - Talbot Alpine cars|access-date=12 April 2017}}</ref>
