Description: Past Model: Classic British car of the 1960's and 1970's

Newest Review: ... three parts, but I know Dooyoo will not let me, so I will skip HB series, and go on to to my last Viva. The mighty HC! (Like ... more

 ... the one in the picture) This was my favourite Viva, I had some bog standard saloons, and estate, and then my very best. It was a GLS with a 1.3 engine! The colour was Orange Tan! Very gaudy, with chrome strips along the sides. I remember a mate of mine buying a Fiat Uno Turbo, and he bragged about having a massive row of SIX dials on the dash - I said "errr, actually I have SEVEN in my Viva". He refused to believe such a ridiculous claim, I foolishly declined the offer of a five Pound bet, but it was ve...more

Premium Review Vauxhall Viva: Viva Espania, but Vauxhalls weren't made in Spain then. (671 words)
by - written on 16/12/08 (Very useful, 292 readings)

Vauxhall Viva review. There were actually three versions of the Viva, starting with the HA - 1963 - 66 HB - 1966 - 70 HC - 1970 - 79 The HA bodywork was used on all Viva vans, and also the Beagle and Roma Campers. The HA vans were actually used up until 1983! This was due mainly to huge advance orders by the Post Office and the then British Telecom. The vans were eventually replaced by the Chevanne, this was of course, a commercial version of the Chevette. The HA was a small car indeed, it weighed just 709 Kilos, held seven Gallons of petrol, and the idea was a car shaped like three boxes, one for the engine, one for ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Vauxhall Viva HC (281 words)
by - written on 30/11/03 (Useful, 1675 readings)
Rating:

Vauxhall Viva HC Manufactured between 1971 and 1978 Varients include: Viva - 2 and 4 door saloon, 1159cc and 1256cc engines. Larger engines were fitted. Viva E - 2 door coupe. Viva SL - 2 and 4 door saloon. Viva GLS - 4 door saloon. Firenza - 2 door coupe, 1800cc and 2300cc engines used. Magnum - 4 door saloon, 1800cc and 2300cc engines used. Was as popular as it's HA and HC predecesors both as a family and fleet car, but rightly or wrongly earned a reputation for being unreliable. It also suffered badly from rust, thought to be due to the poor steel purchased from the continent because of stopages and disputes in the UK at the time of manufacture. ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review Vauxhall Viva: AEFRA CHALLENGE - THE NIGHT I REAR-ENDED SOMEONE (1362 words)
by - written on 29/11/03 (Very useful, 469 readings)
Rating:

I haven't always been the sensible individual you encounter online occasionally. No, in what seems a life time ago, I rear-ended someone <<Shocked looks>>. Hmmmm...I'm wondering what you are thinking now but I will explain in time. Simply read on, McDuff (or be damned, Sherlock) Cast your minds back to 1983. Ye gads, the fluffy, billowing of New Romantic cravats were blowing themselves out whilst I was entering my final stages of puberty as an 18-year-old (medically, it was probably some time before this but I've included this reference for effect). Of course, at this stage in a teen's life, the upwardly mobile, pseudo James Dean type (he ...  Read the complete review
