Hey all

[Dromey hc]

Hi everyone from southampton

Me and my old man are restoring a hc viva that we hope will be cruising the streets soon
People say that im living in the past being 15 and having such a classic car but i think that their the way to go

A mate of mine introduced me to the club and its good that he did as it has helped me alot in the short time ive been on here

Many thanks Dom.

Well done young fella me lad!, viva`s are an excellent starter classic, keep on top of it and they will be little or no depreciation..... unlike your pals in their corsas and saxo`s!!
Most everyday spares are readily availiable and quite cheap.
Ask anything on here as someone will know the answer....
We love photo`s as well!! Especially of restorations!!!!
P.S Tell your old man to join the club (if he hasnt already) to gain full access to forum ect ect.
Oh and before hbpeter asks you "whats the reg" ??

The plate is hwc 123V 1975 plate
Why do you ask??

[pbottomley]

The club tries to a keep a register of all known vivas, and this one we done have in our records, so again before hbpeter asks, got any pictures?

[oli8925]

Aren't 'N' and 'P' 1975 plates? V would be 1979/1980.

I dont have any pics at the moment but if you speak to xevivahc he may as he has taken many pics of it. And it may not be on the register because it was bought from a banger car yard in hamble. And yes i got the year wrong clever me

[hbpeter]

Hello and welcome. Am I becoming a bit predictable then?

Post some pictures up when you take some. Ok, seeing as the reg number and pictures questions have been asked,

Whats the model, SL, Deluxe,L,? How many doors, engine and chassis numbers.

The chasis number i cant get at the moment because its is my garage but its a 2 door 1300 deluxe hc. All i do remember at the moment is that the the vin plate plate is that it has "DOM" in it because thats my name

Hello & welcome to the club.
I think it's good that you chose a classic car,you learn far more about cars when you can tinker.
My lad's 17 & i'm steering him towards a viva. You can't beat the looks that you get driving a classic ...

[Dromey hc]

Thats true. I also get all the storys from the blokes who see it about how they used to have one and wish that they still did. There the only people you can really talk too because people my age dont have a clue about classics
