I've decided to offer up my Viva, which is believed to be the only 1800 auto estate left in the UK.

It's an 1800SL, in Kingfisher blue with Viking blue trim. It was first registered on the 2nd December 1974, so it is currently tax exempt. It is showing 61000 miles, and has just gone through MOT (advised for an oil leak and a blowing exhaust). The MOT expires 10 June 2017.

The car is pretty much standard, except it has been fitted with twin carbs, and has a new set of inertia reel belts fitted. Condition wise it's not perfect, it's showing it's age, there are a few dings and numerous marks in the paint, and the interior isn't perfect either (the dash top is badly discoloured and cracked, one door card is the wrong colour but the damaged original is with the car so the vinyl which is decent still could be swapped over, and the carpets are faded)

The car is located near Spalding in Lincolnshire, and I'm asking for £1995.

You can contact me (Steve) on 07986 971692 or via pm on here.

Well, I changed the rocker cover gasket the other night so it seems to be relatively oiltight now, at least it's not dropping any on the exhaust manifold.

Not a member as far as I know, I'll put an application form in with the paperwork for when he comes to collect it though. From talking to him i don't think he's a club type person, but you never know.

The car was collected tonight, and Roger (the new owner) has said he'll probably join the club, so fingers crossed.
