ECLIPSE BLUE HB VIVA

[Clive Cadman]

HI Back in December 1967 my dad purchased his first brand new car a Hb Viva deluxe in Eclipse Blue reg OBW308F the car was traded in for a brand new mark 2 Ford Cortina in August 1970 i used to clean and polish the car weekly for pocket money and somehow got very attached to the car and was sorry to see it go i started driving in 1973 and had a Wolseley 1500 about a year later i saw a identical car for sale at a garage in Reading for £265 and just couldnt afford the Viva at the time i did have a Saxon Blue Hb later and a couple of HC vivas but have always had a soft spot for the Eclipse Blue colour so hoping to find one again i dont want a project but on the lookout for a nice original 1967 F reg Eclipse Blue with Blue interior so i can relive the past with my polishing cloths .
