[edit] Title of this page within context of Rootes group pages

I've got to this page due to working on Sunbeam Alpine and Sunbeam Rapier pages. It was a surprise to see Sunbeam Rapier redirecting straight here since various other non-Hunter Rapiers were produced.

Also there were various facts missing - like 2-door models and 1500cc engines. Perhaps these weren't available in the country of origin of the original author? I've entered these details and expanded on the brand-positioning of the models in the UK and overseas.

Fundamentally, I think this page is really the "Rootes Arrow" page which I want to link to from the Sunbeam articles. Admittedly the Hunter is the "parent" vehicle, but since some of the other models (the Sunbeams and the Hillman Minx) have their own pages already, I strongly feel that the Hunter page should be reduced in scope and much of this content should be moved to the Arrow page. If nobody disagrees I propose to go ahead and do this in the future. Kierant 14:43, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Reversion explanation

http://www.rootes-chrysler.co.uk/ quotes the Humber Sceptre power as 79bhp, not 85bhp (c.f. 76bhp for the similarly engined Sunbeam Rapier).

Also the changes to the page talking about Iranian Peugeots will be much more appropriate on the Iranian manufacturer's entry (there is one, linked from this article.)

Finally, the mention of the Audax models isn't clearly worded, and anyway might be better on a Humber page. Also, see above for the idea that this should be named an Arrow article, when or if that happens, such historical data might fit better. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.229.66.163 (talk • contribs) 22:33, 26 October 2005.
