Immaculate 1975 Viva

Postby phil dawson » Sun Sep 21, 2008 8:00 pm

Hi,
Went to a car show at Roseisle, Morayshire in Scotland today and saw an immaculate 1975 Viva with only 10,800 miles on the clock.
Owned by Julian MacBeth from Kingussie, it originally was owned by his Grandfather and then was laid up in a garage for years. Original tyres still on her and spare never been used. Underneath the bonnet was very clean and tidy, bodywork all very good and interior lovely.
See pictures.

Phil.

Yes, car was very impressive indeed.

Peter: Car was raised off her wheels in storage so tyres appear in good condition.

The owner is keen to meet up with other vauxhall owners in the area so if anyone is interested let me know as I have his details.

Cheers,
Phil.

What a super looking car! You just dont see them that good any more. Even total resto jobs just dont have that look. I find the majority of restored cars are over done. That just looks so right.
I hope he is joining the Viva Club. IF NOT, WHY NOT!! :D
