hey all thanks in advance for the help i just got myself a little gem of a real barn find its a 1971 viva HC 1800 SL automatic with just over 50,000 genuine miles on her. She is in really good condition needing no welding at all with a good clean interior as she was dry stored in 1979 then forgotten about by a local garage owner until a friend of mine came across her luckily for me he was broke so i snapped her up all she needs to be back on the road is a good service fresh fuel and new brakes/battery etc she could do with a respray as the paint has crazed on the roof but the car is solid and has never been welded/filled so not to big of a job.
so my first question is this as rare as im led to believe as the dvla are telling me there is only one of this model licensed on the road or SORNed in the uk and also what is she worth as i have no idea not that im thinking of selling im just new to classic vauxhalls and realty don't have a clue im thinking of doing a full restoration as she would be mint and totally original i just need to know im not wasting loads of money as ive done so many times with classic austins lol this time id like to keep it in the relms of sensible so if i did ever want to sell i may see atleast half my money back anyway thanks for reading and i look forward to chatting about her with you all thanks in advance chris
