Viva HC 4 door

Postby pbottomley » Sat Apr 18, 2009 11:00 am

Found in a scrap yard not to far from me.

The Viva is a late 4 door HC 1300L in red, rotten to hell but might get the odd part off it, BUT scrap yard man seems to think its worth a zillion pounds, I tried to tell him its worthless as the wings, sills arches and screen pillers were rotten, but he has been "In the game for years mate and Ive seen loads of these reach £10k on ebay" me thinks he seen escorts maybe but not Viva's. Price £350.

Needless to say I left and think its going to be there for many a year at that price, its worth only its scrap value, rear tariling arms looked okay, 1256 engine looked okay, gearbox okay, glass okay the rest is scrap.

If anyone is intrested its in Earl Shilton , Leciestershire. along with a 4 door metalic green chevette (or as the scrap yard knowledge of all he surveys man called it "a Ford Chevette Mk2 1600" :roll: )

Had the same problem recently with a black 130 Skoda Rapid, totally rotten, but he wanted a fortune for it, wouldnt break it, and wanted it taking away the same night.
