Possibly had this one before, can't remember. Looks quite tidy but had the appearance of being sat for a while.

Today I found these whilst going to view a motorbike...

Yum.

They’re actually quite handsome things, Viva HCs (and HBs for that matter).  

Look at the clean glass area with no quarter windows — very unusual for 1970. There are some neat details like the slim rear lights, the smooth curve of the line above the side windows, the point at the centre of the front bumper.

If they were Italian and more scarce, I think people would get quite excited about the styling.  Familiarity has bred contempt.

I’d love a droop snoot HP Firenza. They were properly futuristic in the mid 1970s.

Good day, yesterday.  Dragged the Lada out for the commute...

Then the Magnum (further above) was back, and these two were present later on...

This also turned up a couple of days back...

I'd imagine the lada is long gone by now seeing as that post was from March.

Sorry, went a couple of months back now. Got plagued by a couple of proper, full on weirdos/nut jobs (worse than the usual) but it found a happy home with a nice bloke in Devon.

Massive WANT!! 
 

Are any of this haul for sale do you know? 

It's not far from you at all I'd imagine, captain. I'll message you details anon, I don't know the owner/s of the yard, it was a sort of chance encounter. It'd probably be worth going to see them though and having a chat.

What happened to that poor octy?

 

 

Best guess is stolen and dumped, or broke down and vandalised. It's on an odd bit of land on an industrial estate, near an emergency exit road for a factory, 50 yards from a security hut I think. Amazed nobody has taken the alloys (and other stuff) off it yet.

Someone's definitely had some fun with the brick that's on it. I wonder if it belongs to someone on that site.

Broken down is my guess as well. It's vag after all. For that reason no one would steal it either.

Last tested in early 2016 with 200k on the clock. Last V5 in 2016 too. Looks like it's ready to be weighed in - best thing for it if it's anything like the fLabia of the same era. Bloody horrible things.

No worries, captain, it's just how it is these days, plus the bonus of being able to email two or three fuckwits saying 'sold for the full price' helped.

 

Meanwhile, them arches tho M8...
