Retro Cars

In the new issue of Retro Cars they do a 3 page spread on this years Billing. Isca Bags HA Van gets a pic, as does DTV replica VivaGT, and last and very least :pix: our very own MAZ has a picture stood next to his Green HC. Nothing about us in the blurb. It does say that next year Billing has been moved forward a week to avoid clashing with the British GP? Theres also a couple of pics showing a red HB with V8 and yellow HB estate.

Practical Classics also does a token look at Billing with 2 pics and very few words. Mind you one of the pics is of Mike Hutchinsons ex Blydenstein GT and the blue/silver supercharged HA.

In Autum 2010 issue of Total Vauxhall, lots of Billing photos, only Viva is the DTV GT. They seem to have concentrated more on the Max power type. Also an article on a Blue HA Van, packing 418bhp!! Road legal, and dosent look much different to standard.

In Oct 2010 issue of Classics Monthly, a short article on the Vauxhall Heritage centre, several Viva pics, and cut away Viva engine and box.
