Product Detail

The Garda used Avengers extensively during the seventies and the car modelled was a district patrol car based at Mallow Garda Station in County Cork. Although Garda vehicles were traditionally dark blue or black this particular Avenger was ordered in white because, in addition to its normal duties, it was one of the first cars to be employed by the then embryonic Traffic Corp who used white vehicles as they were more visible.

Rural patrol cars such as 9163 ZO, which entered service in early 1974, covered very high mileages, typically around 30,000 miles per year, so were retained for less than three years.
