Hi all,
My name is Paul and although I'm not new to the club, was one of the original founders with Adrian back uptee dumptee years ago of the Viva HB Club , but new to the online services.
Back in those days I drove a two door Viva HB SL 1159cc in Oyster Grey which I subsequently had repainted a Royal Blue. No mod's other than a down draught Nikki carb. and electronic ignition but boy could it go. Cruised quite happily at 80 mph.
That wasn't enough, so when I saw a Viva GT for sale in 1981 I bought it Little did I know the full state of this sad example.
After a year and half of work it was my pride and joy and have lovingly kept it on the road since.
At present it's MOT time and I'm looking for a rear upper spring seat as the os one as rusted. Posted on Spares wanted.
When I get sorted [knowledge wise] I'll up load some pictures and give the full spec. mod's of the vehicle.
Keep motoring,
Regards paul.
