How long before this ends up in some swanky area being run by a hipster bearded, tofu knitting lentil botherer selling ethically sourced fucking jacket potatoes?

Always liked these Allegro Estates with their curved rear side windows, and the lip on the end of the roof which looks like a Duck fin spoiler.

100 quid, if you're feeling brave...

Thought this may interest a few people, this is more of a "the one that got away" moment. I found this a couple a months ago, it's been sold now but the listing is still up on Car & Classic:

It's a '78 Viva GLS, which I quite liked the look of. Nice beige interior, original paint. After it was sold, I took my eye off it, and continued looking at other HC Vivas for sale.

Now to the present. Whilst I was looking through eBay listings for old car magazines, I came across an edition of Autocar from February 1979, which caught my eye as it had a Renault 18TS on the cover. Looking through the photos that the seller had put up I came across a page which had a picture of the 1979 Vauxhall range.

As shown, all the cars have AVS plates which caught my eye. I remembered seeing something which also had an AVS registration a few months back, so I searched through a folder of mine which had pictures of cars for sale that caught my eye, & realised that AVS 39T was part of the Vauxhall press fleet at one point, as seen in this promotional photo!

I'm always quite interested in press cars, and I have seen a few come and go on eBay and other websites, so missing the chance to buy this one has annoyed me a bit, if only I knew then! The listing didn't state that it was ex-press car funny enough, & I couldn't find any different photos after searching up the reg number, so I wonder if the new owner knows about it's past.

EDIT: the yellow heap of shit next to it is available for sale separately, FFS.

If you squint, it looks like that says 'Mecca' and 'Don't fix' down the sides.  Either way, it needs to go on a pilgrimage to EMR.

I shall post that onto the club site. It may get to the new owner

 

Cheers mate, it could be an opportunity to shine a light on which other AVS reg Vauxhalls are still going. I know that AVS 971T still exists, not sure if it was part of the press fleet though or perhaps a Vauxhall company car.
