I managed to trace Steve through shear luck but it was worth it. He owned DHR before me and could confirm she was a Bill Blydenstien car. The first picture shows how she was before he painted her black. Note the 'shiny' black bonnet. He then painted her black and added the spoiler, (which I love and have kept for my next Viva) and had two big spot lights on the front as you can just see from the only other photo I have of her from that time.

And this is what he traded DHR in for. I don't know whether it was black when he bought it but it looks good. It's in the process of being restored at the moment and has only taken 18 years so far, so won't be long now. I think the twin cam engine below is going in it. Should be worth the wait!

His latest and possibly greatest toy. Not strictly a Viva but boy I'd hope I get this one next.
