I am the owner of your old HC GUW752J , we have had this car since 2001 when it was brought for my wife as a cheap runabout after she had not driven for a few years and wanted a viva again.
It was used every day until 3 years ago,but due to ill health the Viva has not been used.
It is still in reasonable condition but the rear valance has started to rust through, are replacements available?
I would like to get her back on the road as she is a loved member of the family and deserves some tlc.
WOW! Thank you so much for getting in touch, she was such a lovely old girl, spent a fair few quid on her and am so glad she is still in one piece. Would love to know more about her and a few pics would be great too. I only swapped her for a MK2 Escort after she had paint stripper thrown on her because I parked in somebody elses parking space outside their house. It kind of tainted ownership but please let me know how she is doing, I changed the clutch on her in my front garden, laying on my back under some car ramps on my own, happy happy days........
