I bought this Viva last year with MOT and Tax and from the outside it looked pretty good but on closer inspection I found rot covered over with glass fibre,paint or underseal.It was a kick in the teeth and I completely lost interest.   Anyway next weekend I'm collecting an Anglia so the Viva has to go but it's too good to scrap so is anyone interested in a project? The interior is very good indeed as the car is supposed to have only done about 36,000 miles. Mechanically it seemed ok apart from a rotted exhaust. The rot I've found so far is under the bottom of the windscreen,the bulkhead below the windscreen and the passenger side floor and chassis. I expect the drivers side will be the same and there could well be more rot elsewhere but I've not checked. I put it on SORN at the end of June. Here are a few more pics. s7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/tremor63/HA%20Viva/Feel free to ask any questions you like and it would be nice if I got some money back off it so I'll ask for £200 but am open to offers as it has to go this week. |

^^^^^ LMAO.
These are great little cars. needs to be saved. I found that HAs are pretty tricky to rehome. When I weas in the Viva OC there were loads going free. That was 10 years or more ago though.

No new retro as yet ... all attempts to sneak one onto the drive have failed.
