Ooh I remember the family having one of those back in the late 50's/early 60's - loved that motor. Big front end and that sloping rear roof - absolutely cracking motor in memory if not necessarily in practice (I seem to recall it breaking down regularly and - if I'm right - having to be started on the crank handle?)

 

[grubbyhands]

Vauxhall Viva HC (X14)... It had 14 extras over a standard Viva HC as the Chevette had just been released as a replacement for the Viva and the factory had to "jazz 'em up" a bit to shift 'em. "Extra's were to name a couple, metallic paint and beige velour upholstry . It was 5 years old when I got it in 1977 as my first car,cost £750.00 and to this day remains the newest (and worst) car I have ever owned Crock of metallic green sh*t.
