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. :)

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...
