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.

Excellent detective work @Austat

Who cares about the 104 horses.  When you look THAT good, you drive slowly.

Thanks. Now I can't stop listening to Drive Slow on repeat.

It's a 12 grand T4 with some crap stickers, but I still want it. A  lot.

Sorry, but there's been a lot of bluster on here recently - but not many wallets being opened and emptied.

It's time to shit guys - or get off the pot.

I'll get off the pot if that's ok, I'm happy to read about the stress it causes someone else though

such futureshite. A Renner with virtually an unusable range. This one is in Middlesbrough, probably take a week to drive home for me...

Will you ever be able to own one without a battery lease though?

These later Accent (3rd gen according to wiki) are either very rare or so anonymous I don't even clock 'em.

Here's what Autocar had to say about the Accent...

And the Accent Atlantic offers almost C-segment space for B-segment money. But it’s still hard to recommend a car that feels like stepping back into the ‘90s.

Sign me up!

HML reckons probably 975 on the road, only 239 autos. More futureshite.

Basically my Mazda but you can see out the back.

It's been plate-raped but otherwise is just great.  Probably totally knackered like, but still would.

Are you talking about the car or the Nodge bodied MAN in the background?

This looks a nice little thing, only 30K on the clock too.

I wonder what the interior is like?

Whoa! Not to everyone's taste but I quite like it. 

Looks like the northern line seats 20 years ago ?

Note how the artist has lovingly recreated the image of a rabbit running for its life as some twats with air pistols take pot shots at it
