Excuse my self-flagration:

any one know where to get that kit?

I believe my mate can do most of that kit ..Last time I spoke to him he had the moulds for the front spoiler/wings but was waiting on the rear wings.. Next time I speak to him i'll see what the crack is

I am slightly confused by Viva coupés/Magnums/Firenzas. What's the difference?

Viva HC came in either a 2-door or 4-door saloon or 2-door estate & was initially avilable with the 1159cc ohv, or the 1600 or 2000cc ohc slant 4. After a year or so the engines were enlarged to 1256 ohv, and 1759 or 2259 ohc slant 4.

Firenza was the 2-door coupe version, with the same engine options (i think).

The Magnum was a later model, essentially re-badged Viva which had the larger 1759/2259 slant 4 engines only. When the Magnum was available i'm sure you could only get the Viva with the 1256 engine. Magnum also had a better spec interior, twin headlamps & Rostyle wheels (similar to the later Viva GLS). I'm not sure if the Magnum was available in the coupe bodyshell or not. It came as either a 2-door or a 4-door saloon for definate.

I'm fairly sure that the later base spec Viva E was also available in the coupe bodyshell with 1256cc engines only.

There was also the Viva Sports Hatch, which was a 2300cc Viva Estate with the droop snoot front on it. Then there was the Firenza droop snoot, also with the 2300cc engine and ZF 5-speed gearbox iirc. Both of these models were pretty rare.

So essentially the Magnum was the larger engined luxury Viva, which was only introduced a few years after production started. Kind of like same as the differences between the Mk1 Carlton & Viceroy, or the later Mk3 Carlton and Senator.

Viva "E" coupes were done to use up unused firenza bodyshells.

They used to be 2 a penny round here when I was a lad. Where I lived, probably 75% of the local populace worked for or had connections to the plant at Luton (about 7 miles away), and they were available to employees at very very cheap rates.
