Thursday 26th September 1963

Vauxhall launched the new Viva, a small family saloon similar in size to BMC’s 1100 and the Ford Anglia. It was Vauxhall’s first serious step into the compact car market after the Second World War. The first new small car produced by Vauxhall since 1936, the Viva was powered by a 1,057 cc, overhead valve, four cylinder, front-mounted engine driving the rear wheels. It was offered only as a two-door saloon.
