I wonder if another garage nearby was offering a $1 wash, then this one offered 99c and then a tit for tat ensued. DSdriver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeeExEll Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 WTF is it??? Headlight air-intakes. ??? Looks almost Hillman Imp-ish. Does my arse look big in this? It was actually one of the XP 714 design concepts from 1960 for what was to become the HA Viva. Fantastic. It has a Rootes Group styling vibe about it though. From Vauxpedia.

JeeExEll Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Some more HA Viva concepts from around 1960. Looks like some sort of miniaturised Bristol. Can you imagine a GPO postie's Bedford HA van with this front on it? The headlights must have been tiny, like bicycle lamps. A bit like an Americanised Austin ADO16 coupe, in 1960.
