This is worth declaring a national holiday for .... Registration KGO 561D Make VAUXHALL Model VIVA Description 90 DELUXE ✗ Untaxed Tax due: 01 November 1984 MOT No details held by DVLA Date of first registration 05 April 1966 ( - my birthday!) Cylinder capacity (cc) 1057cc Fuel type PETROL Export marker No Vehicle status Not taxed Vehicle colour BLUE A Viva 90 is rare enough, and a Viva 90 Deluxe is rarer than a 90 SL. But it gets even better - that is not a 90 badge (can't find a Deluxe 90 only SL 90), but a Brabham sticker. So this is an HA Brabham GT - http://vauxpedianet.uk2sitebuilder.com/vauxhall-ha---viva (bottom of page), http://www.vauxhallclassics.co.uk/jack-brabham-viva-gt/ , http://www.vauxhallclassics.co.uk/ha-brabham-saloon/ . E-Types, DB5s, Healey 3000s etc stood no chance when one of these appeared in the mirrors ... |

Update - can't definitely confirm there was an official factory Brabham version of the HA, but there was definitely a "Brabham Viva GT" tuning kit. |

Now confirmed - there was a Brabham Viva GT kit which Vauxhall smiled on but it did not have the full support (publicity, dealer availability, warranty) given to the HB Brabahm. So semi-official seems best description. |
