1972 Vauxhall Viva HC Estate Project SOLD

For sale is my 1972 HC Viva estate. I bought it early in 2011 and its sat in a barn untouched until about 4 months ago when I cleared the building. I’m looking for a total lifestyle change and that means selling my entire collection of British and Japanese 60s and 70s classics.

I’m told this Viva is one of the earliest HC estates…. something to do with the front wings not being flat on top??? What I can say with certainty is that it is amazingly rot-free. I have seen loads of evidence of the car having been protected by Ziebart or Panelguard or some such. There are a few areas of surface rust but inner wings are good, outer wings are good, sills are good, doors are good, valances are good. I expect there might be some welding needed once it is baremetalled but I haven’t found any rot anywhere.

Before I bought it, the car had been used as a donor for another. There is no engine, front grille, only one seat, no carpets and no rear springs, (with the car will be a pair of Montego estate rear coilovers). (Other bits are missing but best to have a look yourself.) This car is ideal if you have a crashed or rotten estate or if you want to build a custom...... its a blank canvas.

I may be able to help with an engine and gearbox combo. I have several in a barn. Peugeot 1. 9 diesel on a rear wheel drive gearbox which I bought with the Viva in mind (runs on veg oil), Rover V8 and autobox, Datsun SSS L18 on a manual box, Nissan CA18DET on auto or manual, Nissan CD diesel on manual, there may even be an LD turbo diesel in there. I believe I also have a set of Wolfrace slot mags which I'll throw in if I can find them.

The Viva can be viewed by appointment, just east of Shrewsbury in Shropshire and the price is negotiable within reason. I will be happy to ship the car anywhere in the world at the buyer’s expense and once all monies are paid. Delivery is possible, again at buyer’s expense and once all monies are paid.
