Revision as of 14:22, 3 July 2010Vauxhall Viva (HC). 1970–9 (prod. 640,863, incl. Magnum). 2- and 4-door saloon, 3-door estate, 2-door coupé. F/R, 1159, 1256 cm³ (4 cyl. OHV), 1599, 1759, 1975, 2279 cm³ (4 cyl. OHC). Larger, more modern Viva for the ’70s, with carryover engines, and two-litre unit used for export to Canada, where the car was rebadged Pontiac Firenza. Still not the best reputation for reliability, but greater performance from larger engines from 1971, which replaced carryover ones; coupé added the same year, and the two-litre unit returned to the domestic market. Range divided into Vauxhall Viva and Vauxhall Magnum in 1973, with more upmarket trim for the latter, as well as the 1·8- and 2·3-litre engines. Some engine differences with South African Chevrolet Firenza and related to Chevrolet 1300 and 1900 (q.v.).
