Who are we?

The Vauxhall Viva Owners Club, here to promote, maintain and continue the survival of the Vauxhall Viva, old or new, standard or custom, mint or poor, all are welcome.



The Viva was introduced as the HA model in 1963 and was Vauxhall’s first venture into the compact engine vehicle range for many years.


Individual in character, it aroused a lot of interest and was an immediate success.


Apart from its’ stylish lines it was obviously designed to be practical rather than trendy; unlike many other ‘compacts’ being produced at that time, the Viva was quite conventional in layout, having a four cylinder water-cooled in-line engine with overhead valves, and later a overhead cam Slant four engine.
