The only way is Viva

My grandad had a viva
















I was always mesmerized by the speedo that swept horizontally across the dash rather than round a dial

My first, second, third and fourth cars were all Vivas......then I realised that the reason they were cheaper than other cars was because they were crap!
(Slow learner me!)

I hardly think "swept" is the correct operative term!

The HC Viva had a 1256cc engine kicking out a massive 53BHP !

Try to remember I was 4 or 5 at the time, anything that moved faster than I could run was travelling at the speed of light.



And it will have been significantly faster than the Triumph Herald it replaced

At work so can't see the media, but my first car was a Viva. A previous owner had covered the headlining in blue fur.
And the dashboard
and the steering wheel
and, well everything
