Grim looking HC Viva, £795 in Essex

"Sadly Selling my 1974 vauxhall viva estate 1256 as I have realised it's to much work for me at the moment so I'd rather move it on than let it sit any longer,it's a 1974 hc vauxhall viva estate registered on the first of October 1974,being a estate it is extremely rare now and sought after. Comes with old tax disks from 97/98 when it was last on the road,also has some period stickers on the back and some nice patina👍has keys and v5

The floor is largely rust free apart from a minor hole in the corner of the passengers footwell,but the sills boot corners and arches need work on both sides. Also the a piller and the roof have minor rust holes.engine seems seized but is a quite common engine to find as was used in chevettes 

I would love to see it go to someone to restore it and bring it back to its former glory. but I'd be happy if it's parts go on to save
 another."

I dunno, I had the closely related Kia Magentis V6 of similar vintage and that was a surprisingly entertaining thing to drive once you'd got over the complete lack of steering feel.

The V6 is definitely the better engine as the 4 pot I had (technically still have) was dismally grim to drive. A perfectly adequate engine for the smaller Hyundai models, but simply not enough oomph for the larger Sonata.

A 90's automatic Honda with a years ticket for £375!? Maybe there are some reasonably priced motors out there in this current market after all!

Most were auto (Hondamatic!) when I worked in a dealers, 1980's. I'd prefer an earlier one than that.

Not ULEZ compliant. 

Over the next year or so this is goingnto be a bigger issue than the scrappage scam.

That's true, but there's plenty of places in the UK where there's none of this ULEZ nonsense where a car like that would still be lapped up in seconds

No, I think the 1.0s all got a 5-speeder.  Some of the earlier 1.2 8v bASe Corsa Bs were 4-speed.

Well it's photographed in front of a barn, which is closer than most "barn finds" have ever been to one.

I’m sure these have only got a 4 speed gearbox? 

It looks like a five speed knob in the picture:
