great old car advert,thank you for the blast from the past.
-
My dad had one of these for a month after he crashed his mk2 escort. Lets just say about 2 weeks later it threw a rod going to work....... He then brought a mk3 escort and had that for many years....
-
Just read through all comments... some laughs and plenty of confusion about models etc. I own a few of these (non with the monster 1256cc 4banger thank god) and let me tell you they turn a few heads and handle so much better than almost any other car of it's class/era, cheaper to get parts for, (Mazda 323/Toyota DX Corolla's/Ford Escort you pay through the nose for anything you need) and IMO they have some of the nicest lines... not to say other cars aren't better but overall T cars are great!

@AnthonyUK Estate was 3door... I have one (massively repowered thank christ)
-
I own and drove one of this when I was in school 5 years ago and I'm still driving the same car today
-
i very much doubt that it got off that beach as a complete car, it would have left a fair few piles of rust right there! lol
-
But this engine was just right for the 3 door hatchback. It might have been a bit slow in the heavier Viva, but was right for the smaller Chevette, giving it a good turn of speed and decent economy. Also remember the Chevette was the turning point for Vauxhall in the way the FE Victor never could be.
-
This car saved Vauxhall in Britain. In 1974 the company's reputation was so low they were being outsold by Datsun. OK the Viva was a reasonable car, but the bigger models were rust ridden flops that were completely outsold by the opposition.

Not a good idea to drive one along a beach as the bodywork would turn to dust within 6 months.

WOW! Good times back then! You could barely get them to go 40 MPH on hills. I knew a guy who had a 1981 with the optional Isuzu 1.8L Diesel engine. That would be a rare find in the US today...
