Vauxhall Viva HB GT V8

My dad recording me, testing the newly rebuilt engine, but the engine has to be pulled apart again.

Wow! It looks great and sounds brilliant Jamie! I love the Canadian quad headlamps. The BOP (Buick Oldsmobile Pontiac) engine that became the Rover V8 was a natural for the Viva GT. What a great car. Love it!

Wow couldnt believe it that was my car back in the early 80s . I did think it would survive i had 3 viva hbs and that was by far the most solid and rust free. Sounds great when i got it it had an 1800 slant engine i upgraded to 2.3 but you have gone next level. If your interested i have some old photos . Alan

A nice 😊 👍 👌 looking 👀 old car 🚙. Very good 👍 condition. Strong 💪 condition is because it’s well looked after everyday. Could survive in 2030 to be aged 60 years old. 👍
