Viva LS in Canada

Just saw a Vauxhall Viva LS in local yard. Two door, seems mostly complete . I believe it to be late 60`s as it has side marker lights which were required here in 1968. If you have any part requests I can ship parts.

The grille is what most excites folks back here, the grille and headlight arrangement was unique to the America's.

for example this is a standard UK spec HB saloon with the Deluxe grille and square headlights


If I am right the grille on the front of the car in Canada should look like this:


Or maybe?


Or maybe a GT grille?



If the grille is MINT and the PRICE is right I will be interested :mrgreen:

I think, although I am often wrong, it's a tie down bar. Used for shipping, bolted to the subframe and left on as it adds a toeing point and more crash protection. Not uk spec that's a fact
