The car's bodywork is described as being in exceptionally good condition, with the decision made to preserve the original bodywork due to its genuine patina, which is considered superior to a fresh coat of paint. While there are some minor imperfections, such as a small dent on the front bumper, some minor scuffs and blemishes, and a few areas where the original owner touched up the paint with a brush, these imperfections are said to add to the car's charm. The chromework is still bright with no significant signs of pitting. The cabin is described as a true masterpiece, with every inch of the interior's sporting customisations exuding excellence.

We are extremely pleased to offer this wonderful car, which is very much a one-off and nothing else even comes close to it.
Read on and enjoy, this is very special! Originally acquired brand new by one Mike Dobson in 1966, who owned it for an incredible 53 years until 2019.
He spent most of the 60s and 70s expertly customising and enhancing it to his unique specification, both performance and interior wise.
This included converting the standard HA 90 engine to a genuine Blydenstein performance engine, from Vauxhall’s tuning guru Bill Blydenstein whose initials are stamped on the engine’s cylinder head.
Rescued from a long period of storage, the ‘Salvage Hunters: Classic Car’ team sympathetically restored the car.
Keeping to the original owner’s vision by maintaining all the original custom features, refreshing and restoring areas as needed, but all the time trying to preserve as much original patina as possible.
This particular example is arguably the most famous of all HA Vivas,...
