hello got a viva

[james thomas]

hi all, just bought a viva, S plate so im guessing its a HC? anyway, i havnt a clue about them, and will be fixing it up over time. any advice would be great
Also are there many 1600 hc's?

[pbottomley]

NONE as a S plate, 1600's were only made up to 74'ish ? sound slike someone has swapped the engine at some point in the past? Sure its not a 1800 or 2300?

[james thomas]

[pbottomley]

Chassis number, engine number, v5c, pictures all or some of those will help

Last two digits 5 and 6 , should read 1256, so it probably is a 1.3 and not a 1600. With regard to your earlier posts about the seats, if you are a Club member you can view and post in the Parts for Sale/Parts Wanted sections of this forum. They also pop up on Ebay from time to time.

Hello and welcome, is the car the white one that was on ebay very recently? WAY 961S? If you join the club you will get access to the parts dept, the rest of this forum, club mag etc.
