1972 VAUXHALL VIVA HC
Registration Number: DOF 481K
Chassis Number: 931112E174253
Recorded Mileage: 77, 357 miles
After several years of decline, the Vauxhall Viva helped revive the fortunes of the Luton-based manufacturer. The small saloon went head-to-head with Ford’s Escort and Cortina, selling between 1963 and 1979 1. 5-million examples.
This well maintained 1972 Viva HC is offered complete with its original bill of sale (for £826) and file of MoT certificates, also service and maintenance invoices over the years. A useful upgrade is the Weber carburettor conversion, giving enhanced performance and economy. Subject to a previous restoration, the bodywork has been repainted and presents well, as does the vinyl interior trim. Usefully the Viva is fitted with a retro Caliber stereo with auxiliary input and Bluetooth connectivity. Driven regularly, the Viva comes complete with a set of workshop manuals, two sets of keys, original sales brochure, and a number of useful spare parts.
The Viva shows now just over 77, 000 miles recorded, and is nicely presented in Henley Blue with a Black vinyl interior. A rare sight on British roads and a really fun entry level classic.
This motor vehicle will be sold at auction with Dore & Rees in Frome, Somerset, on Saturday 13th April 2024. For more details contact the Motoring Department via the above details.
