Hello from Holland

Postby Hendriks » Thu Jun 27, 2013 9:33 pm

Hi All,
My name is Jan I come from Holland and have a couple of weeks a Vauxhall Viva HAD from 1966.
I have bought this car from the first owner. I am looking parts for this car.
I hope I can come next year with the car to England when ther is an event of the Vauxhall Viva Club.

Greetings,
Jan Hendriks.

Hello and welcome. I have got the other pictures you sent me. Feel free to ask any questions. Some parts are hard to find, especially body and trim parts. Keep your eyes open on ebay.

I aggree with Paul it looks great in that colour.

I have seen a few other Vauxhalls from Holland (PB Cresta and FB Victor) in metallic. Were most of them painted in Metallic for just that market or did Belgium get them too?

In 67 the HA Vivas in Australia were available in metallic colours to sell them off before the HB Torana was released. They also featured a lot of british features such as SL boot lock and rubber mat.

Is it possible for you to post a picture of the interior?

I currently live in Sweden and am fascinated by all the differences on the Vauxhalls that I have seen over here.
