OK guys this is a long shot but here we go. A very very long time ago, like the late sixty's my dad (Roy Morris) built a HB Vauxhall Viva in Birmingham at his business called Morspeed Garages in Birmingham. The car was featured in the first edition of Custom Car March 1970, that's right number 1.
This is the cover and the two picture from page 47.

This was taken at the same time but not used in the magazine.
Now he did race the car togather with my mum (Sue Morris) at Santa Pod (Drag Racing) somewhere between 1971 and 1974 and also in some sprints at Curborough seen here around 1973-74.
The car was sold I belive in around 1974-5 to someone in England, we moved to Germany in 76. At the time my Dad sold it the motor was a 361ci Chrysler out of a Facel Vegas HK500.
Stampeder the HB Viva was also feature in this magazine in 1970.
Here is one more shot taken from the Vaxuhall magazine.
This is how the car looked when he sold it.
Now the chap who purchased the car said he was going to change it for drag racing only. So do you know what happen to it ? Or do any of you have any pictures of it at Santa Pod drag racing or sprinting at Curborough. Any info would be great thanks Tony Morris
