I have an entry list in a programme 1st June 1969 run by RECC Ltd in amongst the Large saloon car entry is one Alan Wright- Viva.

If my memory is correct this car was not the normal Viva as seen with The Shaw & Kilburn cars of Gerry Marshall & Eddie Heasell , but the 1300cc HA type.

I believe it was Blue in colour as i recall seeing it at Snetterton that year.


Anyone with knowledge of the car ? photos , or insight .

According to the Autosport race report the final was won by Bill McGovern in George Bevan's G2 Imp , from Phil De Banks 1300 Mini, and Roger Friend's J M Accessories 850 Mini.

Michael Hipperson was entered so does Hipperson who posts know of the car?
