Vauxhall Viva HA SL '65 - '66 |
|||||||||
|
Vauxhall's first small car since 1936. The new Viva and Opel's Kadett were
really twins under the skin with a 1057cc. 44bhp. 4 cylinder engine. Alas
they suffered badly from corrosion through the cappings along the boot edges
allowing in water, causing premature and terminal rust! The sumptuous SL of
1965 was the luxury version for the wealthier end of Vauxhall's clientele with
additional
flashy chrome bits, full size wheel trims and a better interior trim. Production reached a staggering 309,538. Few survived. |

Vauxhall Victor FD VX 4/90 '67-'72 Really just a go faster Victor with Rostyle wheels, a sporty front and a 4 cylinder 90bhp engine... hence 4/90. Production for the FD series reached 198,000 |

Vauxhall 'Droop Snoot' Firenza '73 -'75 A radical makeover from the American designer Wayne Cherry for the Viva HC based Firenza coupe. It set the design trend for the next generation of all of Vauxhall models. A big 2.3 litre engine pushed out 131bhp with 120 mph performance. Much used in motor racing circles of the time. A very influential motor. Any colour you liked as long as it was silver. Highly collectable cars today. |

Vauxhall Chevette L '75-'84 |
|||||||||
|
First small British hatchback to reach the market. The TV jingle announced it
as 'It's whatever you want it to be!' It was assembled in a new purpose built factory at Ellesmere Port in Cheshire. From its introduction until 1979 it was the UK's top selling hatchback. Really a Anglicised Opel Kadett with a 1256cc Viva engine. 80mph possible. Production over its nine year life reached 415,000 |

Vauxhall Chevette HS Sport '78-'84 The 2.3 litre 16 valve 'Droop Snoot' rocket. 135bhp. A rare and sought after model these days.... if you can find one! Along with all Vauxhall's Droop Snoot's it was any colour you liked as long as it's silver with a red stripe! |
