Photos need to be hosted else where ,postimage.org works.

Passed my test in a Vauhall Viva HB SL90. My great uncle bought one in England and shipped it home to Malaysia that was an HA though.
Passed my test in a HA, 1966. Had seams on the top of the wings which made judging distance easy. First car I drove with an all synchro gearbox. Later had a HA van with mega mileage but ran okay.

Guess how we tested the gear box and clutch on the HA's in the factory!!!!
A clue: this was on the rolling road..

I'm wincing, thinking about it. :lol:

If you didn't have a Mk1 Escort with a nicked Mexico badge on it, a Viva HB with a vinyl roof and spotlights was the next best thing to go with a moustache and tank top. 8-)

Anyway, the important thing now is that Harvey (125ercrazy) has sold this bike, so it ain't for sale any longer.

Boy could i tell some good stories about that place when we used to build the Viva's :lol: and buy our very own (bog standard) Viva from the appointed dealer :lol: But only face to face :lol: :lol:
Hint: find out the build number from the dealer, get said build card and write your name on it and works station number....leave the rest to the guys who built them on the line. All you ever knew was the car you would get would be the colour you ordered :lol:
