My old 2 door 1968 HB viva I was 16-18 at the time went from a 1300 to 1600 then 3ltr v6 white 8 spokes, Ventura grill,steel side skirts and spoiler, side pipes blue and red fur all the way through "I cringe know"home built dash all built on pocket money and £23.50 a week work experience money . I look a bit sad in the photo as it was for the newspaper when I had all my tools pinched out off the shed.  sorry about the quality but it is a 24 year old newspaper cutting |
