The Paykan is a historic passenger car built in Iran based on the British Hillman Hunter platform. It served as the primary mode of motorized transport for millions of Iranian families for decades, available in sedan and pickup body styles. Mechanics know it for its extremely simple, rugged rear-wheel-drive layout and overhead-valve engine that could be repaired with basic hand tools.
