Title: box type viva
Post by: raywilb on 08 December 2014, 18:28:38
reading a post in chat section re vivas being reintroduced reminded me of my nephew when he first passed his test about 8yrs ago. his first car was an old box type viva that was found in a garage that once belonged to a dealership. the car had been left in the building & never been on the road, just a few miles on the clock. it still had a old push button 1960,s radio in it. He never had it long though, used it in part ex for a new car. He told me when he went to pick up his new car he said it came with one wheel only,(steering wheel) apparently he had to buy the road wheels. they never came with the deal  ???

By box type I would guess that would be the original Viva known as the HA.Where the heck did he go where they charge extra for the wheels!!!!!!?

Maybe he meant spare wheel ? Some volvo spare wheels where optional extras  ::)

Dunno,doesn't read like that to me but maybe you're right.I know a lot of cars no longer come with a spare wheel.

Don't think any do as standard. Optional extra. Cost me £300 for a cradle and wheel for mine.
