The 2nd generation of the Vauxhall Viva was brought in to bring in an affordable family car with just a little flair of fashionable Coke bottle styling. It was a determined undertaking to try and topple the Morris Minor and the Ford Anglia, and dependent on who you ask, it's an altogether nippier, cooler car. 

This particular 1967 example stands out for its remarkable single-ownership history, having remained with the same family since it was purchased new by the vendor's grandfather. Single-owner classics of this age are increasingly rare finds, especially when accompanied by such comprehensive documentation and originality.

This Viva now awaits a full restoration, and we think it's a particularly solid starting point. The complete history file including original log books, full service records, MOT certificates, tax discs, and receipts for all work ever carried out provides an unbroken chain of documentation, while the car's originality and untouched status make for an excellent prospect.
