Just purchased a 1975 viva HC of ebay.Last time I had one of these was back in the early 1980's,

my very first car in the early 1970's was a H reg 1159 viva HB what a lovely car I had to put new wings and inner wings on it just to get it through the MOT happy days lol.

Now I am looking forward to driving my new purchase.

Hi there, and welcome, you say this is the first time since the 80s you have owed a car like this, is this the first time you have owed a classic car, if so you will need to shop around for classic car insurance, you can get a good deal these days, again welcome and enjoy. Alan :lol:

Driving them is what it's all about. Also, if you take it to work, there is something about driving and owning the oldest and coolest car in the car park. People do a double take when they see something a little different.

Enjoy

Hi Guys

It is the first time Ive owned a classic car and of course last time I had a viva you could pick them up any where at a reasonable cost.

But they always had that classic style, not like todays cars they all look the same round at the front and round at the back I dont know one model from another.

And the people that ask me about the car and tell me that they used to have one its great, Ive been a big fan of the viva from when they first came out my first driving lesson of a friend was in a HA van.

Now the familly has grown up I can spend a little on my bit of history.

I have done very well with the insurance, fully comp and my partner as a named driver £97.00 through (Barry Grainger classic car insurers there number is 0870 112 8103) if anyone needs a quote
