Viva HB Complete car found for rescue

Postby ADRIAN » Fri Apr 13, 2012 5:30 pm

A complete Viva HB, "G" reg, 4 door, Green, reg number VRK 767G has been "found" in a scrapyard and if somebody is quick, it can probably be purchased complete before it's broken/ crushed.
Located at RTS Motors, New Road (A1306) Rainham, Kent RM13 Tel: Derek on (01708) 551367.
If you wish, a local member who lives opposite the yard , Robert Petherham, HC493 is willing to go over there and talk to owner / inspect car/ find out price? etc. (01708) 556084
BUT BE QUICK !!!!!

surely somebody will save that??? :shock:

i came across a white HB 4dr saloon in a breakers in Haydock,near St.Helens,last autumn when i was in there looking at a mk2 orion.probably been squished by now i expect,but didn't look too bad and mostly all there,wheels had been took off though.forgot to ask if car had been signed off as scrapped though...if it had then shell would have to be crushed.
theres all kinds in one of the big breakers near the motorway here,up on the racks i could see a bay window vw camper,a mk1 golf,a montego[how rare are they now!!] and a P4 Rover 100 for starters..
and yesterday in a little country breakers not far from here i saw through the trees a Beddie CF luton van,might be other classics in there too,will have to go over for a mosey sometime but its always shut whenever i'm off as i work 6 days a week so never have much time these days to mooch the scrappys :cry:
current cars...
1978 Viva HC 1300GLS 2 door,Red with BVR
1985 Ford Orion mk1 1.6 Ghia,quartz gold
2003 Peugeot 206 1.4 HDi 5 door,moonstone-the daily driver.

Took a look at this, looks complete and in saveable condition. It is a 1200 deluxe 2 door in green but possibly gold underneath? He wants £400 ish but open to offers has had it running and states it was in a garage for years. Petrol tank clogged but has a spare clean one. Sadly no other vivas in stock as I want HC parts!
