  • Wheres it gone?

    Its not been used for 2 & 1/2 years!

    Dont tell me another HB has been killed...

  • Mate bottled the classic car thing and sold it for the £70 he bought it for. On hindsight I regret allowing him to sell it! But back then any welding was scary! Two guys from Oxford came down to buy it. Appeared to be proper enthusiasts

  • Oh right, You`ll continue to regret it too, I know I miss my 2 old HB`s & now they are so rare its unlikely I`ll get another!

    I got my 1st one when I was 16 & it was pinewood green too!

    I hope they were enthusiasts, alot of these end up on banger racing tracks even now.

  • Been trying to talk him in to buying another but he's a lost cause! I had a Dolly 1300 at the same time, 3 or more years on I've had 4 of the things! Mate drives round an 04 plate Fiesta...

see all

  • Any idea the insurance an 18 year old would pay on one of these mate?

  • like your film very much as this is my favourite model of the vauxhall viva .

  • yes you are right , i saw one being raced at standlake oxfordshire , at the pre1976 banger meet . along with a 1954 bubble cambridge , a 1958 morris oxford traveller , coke bottle cortinas , trummy dolomites, hillman avenger estate car . yes all very sad to see. i used to do banger racing years ago , when there was an abundance of these sorts of cars , and we did'nt really think about their true value in those times. plus you could pick a car up from a scrapyard for a few £££'s .

  • My first ever car was a Pale Blue Viva HB "F" reg with red plastic trim everywhere, covered in sheepskin seat covers. I'd bought it from my old foreman in 1978 for £40. It was constantly breaking down, leaked oil and let the rain in, but I loved it. I was 17 and had the world at my feet or so I thought... :-))

  • Is this old footage taken years ago?

    Still a beautiful car, though. :)

  • knackered old viva with a rusty wing driving around on a council estate. who would have thought it.

  • has anyone heard any news on the Baldy Van?

  • what a great bit of film.

  • great cars had one and a hc prefered the hb altho much prefer the hillman avenger to any classic!
