Paykan
2000s2000youtube

In this video we explore one of the most incredible success stories in British Automotive and Iranian Automotive history how the Hillman Hunter became the Iran National Paykan a car considered unremarkable in the UK went on to be produced in Iran becoming their national car and an icon of a newly emerging country. Even when presented with challenges from nation changing revolutions and parts supply issues the Hunter soldiered on. The car may even be resurrected again by Sudan.

I have credited where possible these works are transformative. Follow me on Instagram for more cool stuff: https://www.instagram.com/tomisdrivingcars

About Paykan

The Paykan (Persian: پيکان, romanized: Peykān meaning Arrow) is the first Iranian-made car produced by Iran Khodro, between 1967 and 2005. The car, formerly called "Iran National", is a licensed version of the British Rootes Arrow (Hillman Hunter) and was very popular in Iran from its introduction until its discontinuation. The Paykan spawned some locally developed variants, most notably a coupé utility named Bardo and having a different body shell from other the one sold elsewhere.
