in more ways than one.......
Hi, I'm Adrian Miller - not that one! Dunno where the club founder is from but I'm from Bournemouth originally and now based in Surrey. My first car was a blue Viva HC 2 door, second a white HC GLS four door and my third a yellow HC GLS four door. First two were wrecked in crashes, neither my fault, the third had a gearbox failure resulting in my changing to a Volkswagen Passat.
Been toying with the idea of another Viva HC as a weekend car for some time now. Relive my youth but without the large stereo or the j-turns. Looks like many others have come back to Vivas cos they had them as cars in their youth too.
Been looking at eBay off and on for a year or two. A blue two door came up with one owner from new and low mileage, showed it to a few car nut friends and they all said I should get it. So, deposit is paid and I'll be sorting the rest on Monday. Was surprised at the insurance price, called Footman James and it was £38 including the £25 admin fee to add it to my classic vehicle policy which already has three Land-Rovers on it. Call me a gluten for punishment!
I'm hoping I may be able to make it to some shows with the car, I don't want to use it as a daily driver as it's too nice and besides I have an Audi A4 for that
Adrian
