What about an engine swap? Something modern perhaps? A V6..?

@Alexander_l322 3 года назад

rowdoc that would do it an injustice, keeping original is the way to go I say.

@dannyplanck6498 3 года назад

Good job getting that Viva!

@trevorjarvis3021 3 года назад

Rob and Chris - well that was absolutely brilliant, I haven’t laughed so much for a long while! My wife asked what I was watching so I played the first five odd minutes again with her watching - seeing her face begin to smile was a picture!! (Rob said have you seen the size of these spiders? I don’t like big spiders!!) 😂 The Viva looked great, I thought it was going to be a Ford Anglia! The reason so many people love your vids is because we all wish it was us doing and living the life you two do! Please continue to do what you both do because it’s fantastic!!

@michaeltrudeau294 3 года назад

I can remember growing up in NY the local Pontiac Cadillac dealer in town did sell some Vauxhall Victor's and I remember them running around. I always liked the size as they made more sense then the big full sized cars we had. And I'm sure being NY, if kept there, they must have rotted out fast. When the US compacts came out in 1960 I was surprised how sensible they were. When the NY Worlds Fair opened in 1964 1965 I was lucky enough to go there several times. First stop was always the GM pavilion. I have black and white photos of the "other" GM cars that were offered overseas. They had Vauxhalls, Opels and Holdens there. Holden? What's that? It was the sensible size of the Viva and Opel Kadett I always enjoyed. To show my appreciation for these sensible sized cars I own 6 Chevy II and Novas from 1962 (the 1st year) to 1976. So I understand Chris's fondness for Viva's. There's just something about them, you just have to have some nice ones. Thanks for saving the Viva.

@johndavey72 3 года назад

Hi Michael. The Holden was another GM owned car manufacturer in Australia. They were very rugged as many of the roads were and are dirt track. They were large by European standards. In later years they used small block V8's. Like many car makers the Japanese imports killed the home market. I think Holden wound up in the '90's but if you Google Holden , Australia l'm sure you'll find all you need to know. Hope all is well with you and yours . I guess if you still live in N.Y. life has been very stressful. Take care and stay safe.

@samcarter8794 3 года назад

Definitely want to see more of that and more of Chris beaming from ear to ear!

@simonzero3815 3 года назад

My first ever drive of a car was on a private estate with the game keeper in his green HA version of one of these. We took that van everywhere over fields and terrain usually with half a ton of grain in the back to boot as well. It never missed a beat. I use to love the simplicity of it. Your video has brought back some lovely memories for me of a time when life was just that bit more carefree . Would be great to see this little lady get going again.

@adamcrook9837 3 года назад

So good to see some more of Chris 👍👍👍👍

@skodakatie7341 3 года назад

Good for Chris, if he likes those cars, why not have several of them lol 😂.

@paulwoods7857 3 года назад

Ha! Was convinced that was a triumph herald under the covers!! Lovely find there guys. Reminds me of the bedford HA van my mum had, that i used to takd to the wholesalers once a week! Happy memories..Looking forward to seeing future progress 👍👍

@floyd8293 3 года назад

The viva, without them, the Austalian Torana would never have been made. Great little car

@vespamorelli7090 3 года назад

The smile on Chris’s face said it all !! Brilliant chaps, looking forward to seeing more of this 👍🏼👍🏼

@michaelrowe7731 3 года назад

If that is the original engine in the boot you really need to try that first, especially with only 60k on it. Great find chris.

@pahooper99 3 года назад

Omg what an awesome buy. We so need some videos on this one

@modelreviews3705 3 года назад

I agree with you we need to see progress

@johnroyle2969 3 года назад

I had a viva van back in the early seventies I always liked the very short gearshift lever. when the car was first introduced it was a good competitor to the Anglia a lot of people used to clean there cars with washing up liquid and put it in the screen wash this used to cause a lot of rust issues as it removed polish and damaged the paint surface

@paullawrence5117 3 года назад

I have to say you 2 do make me smile and chuckle never a dull moment

@colinnewlands743 3 года назад

My first car. I love it. Makes me think I may look for one for myself.

@nevillemorley5926 3 года назад

I had four Vivas, one a van. Bought a new one in '73. Loved them all. Lovely gear box and all were nippy. Great days. Great video

@johnbowen2963 3 года назад

@91Grunta 3 года назад

Nice ride Chris that's a good save. Rob you need to go to the local 4x4 suppliers and buy some snatch block pulley's specifically for winching sideways. Really like what you guys do.

@sruk 3 года назад

I got one I can’t find it 👍

@markbennett6658 3 года назад

Try to sort the original engine in the boot guys. Keep it matching numbers. It’s in such a good state of preservation it’d be a shame not to!

@MrKaydar 3 года назад

Absolutely brilliant. My grandad had one back in the 70s and this brings back many fond memories of him. The car and our fishing trips in it.

Chris is swinging into action as we watch, good to see/hear him in vids👍

@jeremytoms5163 3 года назад

Love the old Viva's, had two HC's in the 80s as my first cars.Still regret selling them but as a teenager I'd ragged them to death. Always wanted the Viva Firenza but never had the funds. Now I'd love to pick one up but they're as rare as hens teeth ! Jealous.

@tenmillionvolts 3 года назад

My first car was an HC. Pretty reliable for the day. It finally ran out of compression after years of work so we found a wreck with a recent rebuilt engine. Gas axed it out and dropped it in mine. It never went so well, haha. I'd love to drive one again just to feel that weird notchy gearbox

@tenmillionvolts 3 года назад

Here in New Zealand, the upmarket model was the Magnum 1800. God I wanted one. Just to feel what real power was like would have been great

@chrisluke7739 3 года назад

Was nice to see Chris so happy with his purchase and getting so involved in the video. Love the car and can’t wait to see what it turns out like.

@stevbrkr 3 года назад

I would not be swapping another engine into that car. Rebuild the original engine and put it in. Matching numbers cars that are unmolested are far more desirable than a bitsa.

@terrylalley 3 года назад

I worked in Ellesmere Port Vauxhalls making these, bought 2 HAs and and HB. It was a while ago now :)

@weaton25 3 года назад

Back in the day I had lots of Vauxhalls mostly big Crestas but one thing they all had in common rust I had a 1960 cresta only four years old but had rust holes in it this one of yours must have been well looked after to last this long first job on the list lots of waxoyl everywhere.

@twig3288 3 года назад

In the late seventies I had a Cresta with a 3.3 straight six and bench seat in the front. It was hidden in the back of a dealers lot because it was running lumpy. I paid £140 for it. Turned out the head gasket had blown between two of the cylinders which cost me £30 to get fixed. Lovely car, flew like a bird.

@bernehalligan 3 года назад

@fredscratchet1355 3 года назад

Lovely video lads. There must be thousands of old cars quietly sleeping in garages and barns around the country waiting to be rescued. While watching this I suddenly remembered the lad next door owns one of these in the same colour! How about that then. I do remember changing a clutch on one about 50 years ago and it was a pig of a job, there was this big torsion bar under the gearbox which was threatening to let go and take my head off!

@markfiges999 3 года назад

They were a POS when they were new, ........and have NOT improved with keeping.

@davidcoates350 3 года назад

Your channel guys cheers me up no end and i look forward to every episode with its great mix of fixing old and new cars. Both of you are top blokes, your attention to detail, the explanation's of the jobs you do and enthusiasm you show is brilliant.

@chrislee6377 3 года назад

great stuff chris it deserves tlc all day long and it has the right owner to do that can not wait to see the finished project

@stevenc5227 3 года назад

most of those cars were dead in ten years due to rust, but that one is exceptional.

@stevefuller1779 3 года назад

When I was an apprentice, back in the early seventies, we had a fleet of them with consecutive reg numbers, we used to thrash the living daylights out of them and they took everything we dished out, wonderful things.

@alancraigie7951 3 года назад

@slottaway 3 года назад

Still remember my old man`s one, Safari Beige, Reg No was CRO 804B. Back in the day when the CRO was a Croydon Reg No. he obviously liked them as well, as he bought a brand new Viva HB delux in 68. If I could ever get a Viva HB GT I`d leave this planet a very happy chappy 👍👍👍

Love it 😍 what a beautiful stunning car absolutely love the colour and the shape the smile on Chris’s face is priceless and I have noticed he’s starting to get used to the camera. hope you get some nice memories from it x

@pierrelarocque3214 3 года назад

In 1968 I got my hands on a 1967 Vauxhall Viva Brabham, one of the two that had been imported in Canda by GeneralMotors for evaluation purposes. What a great little sleeper. Twin SU carbs, ported heads, exhaust headers, Koni shocks, etc. Capable of close to 100 mph. MGBs could not believe what was happening to them. Your video has brought back some great memories. Thanks.

@edwardmulder3777 3 года назад

Wow, that musta gone like the clappers, mine was the 1100( or 1050, can't remember exactly) engine and it took a beating

@wizzard5442 3 года назад

Australia had VV and Brabhams too but renamed them Brabham (Holden) Toranas.

@garrywhitehurst5764 3 года назад

Amazed it’s solid, not the best cars for rust free motoring. Nice one Chris!

@davidoxley6117 3 года назад

What a really solid looking Viva, with all the paperwork/history I can see this being a really worthwhile project. Looking forward to the updates as a when. Nice one gents.

@johncox2714 3 года назад

I would love to see a series of videos on restoring that Viva. It would be great.

@thefamilyrobbo 3 года назад

Gotta love the Viva. We had 2 Crestas when I was a kid so I have a big soft spot for Vauxhalls of this era. Great to see the big smile on Chris' face 😀😀👍

@cidercik 3 года назад

Solid body and nice surprise to know the original engine was in the boot. Nice to see it with as many original parts are possible and as unmolested as possible. Not this is a candidate for drag racing, but still nice to see it kept as close to as it was.

@wookiewookster1214 3 года назад

Great stuff. Nice one Chris, I can’t believe the condition of it, looking forward to following this one💪🏻

@petrolhead28 3 года назад

Lovely original car. Would love to see the progress of this simple antique.

@dariangower3410 3 года назад

Love it!!

@paulwalsh9680 3 года назад

Not a Vauxhall fan generally, but what a find!! Thought at first it might be a Triumph Herald cos of the way the tarp was shaped at the front. Chuckled when you mentioned Hillman Imp as my sister had an Imp California 40 years ago. Actually managed to get jt (just) up to 70...downhill...on the M5. Scarjest few minutes driving of my life!

@stewartturner3181 3 года назад

That's lovely . Wonderful original condition.😁 Would be great if the original engine is salvageable keeping it a matching numbers car 😃

@Hopgop1 3 года назад

Can tell Chris loves it, that priceless smile when you see him haha

@tramlad2 3 года назад

My dad had one in white, he got it on my 10th birthday in 1972 , and i got a 10 shilling note that day, remember it well , nice little car, has a bit of charm about it, good luck Chris, will be well looked after with you being the new owner. Took me down memory lane with my old dad, god bless him.
