So, headlights , steering racks, clutch cables etc are different to UK items.



Thanks for the information.
I knew that the headlights and dashboard were different. The rest I thought was the same.
Fortunately mine comes with 1 pair of spare headlights.

Thank's.
The car needs some work.
It's been parked for over 10 years.
Next weekend we will see if the engine runs and if the car moves.

Needs some cares.
There is not much material for Viva in Portugal, I will have to buy it in England. I hope to have your help in the restoration.

I am Luis (Luis Antonio!) also from Lisbon (Algés). I own a 1969' Vauxhall Viva HB 4-Door Deluxe! I am also looking some parts for my car, mainly 2 headlights units for a LHD (left handed drive). My car is pretty much in a very good condition.

Hi Luis,
Do your lights have "Foreign Glass" moulded into the glass lens?

ALL Genuine Lucas Viva headlights have Foreign glass on them, - it just means the glass used in manufacture came from a non uk source. It would not mean that it is a LHD lamp.
