| Vauxhall Viva 1969 | |
| Vauxhall Motors, England | |
| The Vauxhall Viva was GM's classic economy car of the seventies, and was the first visible result of collaboration between GM's Opel and Vauxhall factories. The Opel-designed SOHC engine was a good performer in it's class, but demand for Vauxhall models dropped by more than 75% between 1968 and 1978, by which time the Viva was near the end of it's life. Donated by the family of the late Gordon & Lil Younge, Feilding. | |
| 1159 cc, 4 cylinders, ohv. | |
| Volkswagen Purvis Eureka | |
| One of the most interesting characteristics of the Volkswagen is that the floor pan itself is the chassis. This simple fact has given rise to a number of "specials"? based on the readily available VW chassis. The Purvis Eureka is one such kit car. Manufactured in Australia, the Eureka has transformed many a humble VW into an eye-catching sports coup | |
