More good press from the INDEPENDENT newspapaer today

Just read this article in the Independent newspaper today, Ian had the tiem to speak with them before publication and the article seems to be good news for Vivas, raising the profile for all owners.

In the words of the RETRO CAR magazine last year "is the Viva the new Ford?" :shock:

The club is not doing bad then and you all wanted publicity for the car, now you have it.

A great article, well done the Independent.

Of course, even to me with Rose tinted specs and all that, it does cross my mind that the odd person may have memories of Vivas that are not entirely "ultra-reliable, easy-to-live-with motoring" but why worry?
