Vauxhall Viva

Vauxhall Viva

The Viva was a small family car produced by Vauxhall Motors in a succession of three versions between 1963 and 1979. These were known as the HA, the HB and the HC series.

The Viva appeared a year after Vauxhall's sister company Opel launched the Opel Kadett A: visually the two cars' kinship was obvious. A van version was also made, badged as a Bedford. In the UK the Viva's principal competitors at the time of its launch included the well-established Ford Anglia and Morris Minor.
