As well a the full page article on the website, in this months retrorides mag there is a big article on 'Sid', the HB DTV replica that Andy at Bodyworkx built. Another HB lurks in the background as well, looks like opelscotts. They generally urge people to buy a Viva while they still can.

We got 2 more mentions. First in June issue of Total Vauxhall mag on page 96, small section near top of page, again favourable. Also in June issue of Classics Monthly on page 21, again a small bit near top of page.

Also in the June issue of Retro Cars. A large article on Silver Bullet, the Sportshatch with 6 headlights. A small bit sent in by someone who used to hillclimb/sprint a modified HA Van! With photos. A couple of photos of a yellow HC estate with yellow wheels, looks better than it sounds. A few pics of the well known HA with supercharged Zetec motor. And at the back a tantilising photo of a full rally spec Magnum which they go blasting round a forest in, in next months issue.

In this months Retro Cars, a few small pics of various Vivas/Firenzas at shows. Plus a yellow Firenza with 2.5 Daimler V8, Supercharged, in the Lock up section. A full article coming in the future.

In last months Classic Car Mart(I think), a pic of a red 1600 HB at a show, with the caption the 'only 1600 in the uk', thats not right is it?
