This handsome 1964 Vauxhall Viva HA is finished in cheery bright blue with a cream interior, giving it a surprisingly contemporary appearance. The two-door car has a 1057cc engine and four-speed manual gearbox, and the vendor says that, being the Deluxe model, it is fitted with optional disc brakes and upgraded wheels. Restored in the past, the bodywork is in ‘average’ condition, with just some small areas requiring attention, while paintwork is ‘good’, as are the engine and transmission. With just over 69,000 miles on the odometer, the vendor says ‘DSA 161B’ would make an ideal starter classic for an enthusiast.
The original Vauxhall Viva, known as the HA, was introduced in 1963. It shared the same floorpan and engines as fellow GM partner brand Opel’s German Kadett A. However, a great pub fact is that Vauxhall used imperial measurements, while Open used metric meaning that although they look similar, few parts are interchangeable. The first new small Vauxhall since 1936, it competed with the Ford Anglia and Austin 1100, and set new standards in its day for drivability and ease of use. It proved to be a huge success, with almost 310,000 models produced in little more than two years.
In summary:
- Bright and bold Vauxhall Viva HA
- Original Towbar
- Deluxe model with desirable extras
- An ideal starter classic for an enthusiast
