We're off topic here but we're not like that. We welcome anyone who has the slightest interest in Vivas and their variants, you don't have to own a Viva.

We don't practice a closed shop and of course members are also welcome to post items and cars in the Public area to gain a wider audience, but they run the higher risk of attracting the 'less than honest' punter.

Checking over this HA, I pretty much can't believe what I've found ..... It seems too good to be true, but at first glance there isn't much for me to do :D some suspension bushes and new shocks needed, along with headlamps, wipers, coil, battery etc and I'd bet she'd pass an MOT :D
I'll post up some pics later with a better write up, but for now I need a question or two answered about the chassis plate. It reads:

HAH20 R 369 853 553 5540731E

856

DOM

So what I can gather is:

HAH = SL, 853 = Pacific Blue paint, 553 = Meteor Blue stripe, 5540731E = Chassis number.

What i don't know is the '20', 'R', '369', and the '856'.

And the 'DOM', they all carry that don't they...I don't think I've ever known what that means :?

So, can anyone shed some light on it?
