You'd be surprised how much these ones sell for these days:

That car in the pic is odd. Looks like a Vauxhall Magnum as Vivas had larger rectangular lights. The Magnums had larger more powerful engines and four round lights instead.
My Grandad bought a Viva when they first came out new and very quickly sold it when he saw the build quality. He was a designer by trade and he did not approve of a brand new car wired up by hand twisting wires together which he saw in his early Viva. (Done like this from the factory as he had one of the first).
Having said that some of the Vivas did hang on for a while as a few made it on the road into the early 1990's.
