An Old Vauxhall Viva Is A Whole Lot More Appealing With A Mazda V6 Under The Bonnet

What impresses us most about this car is the custom work that’s gone into it. Owner Alex built his own ECU for the Viva, and fabricated a new - and rather pretty - inlet manifold more suited for the longitudinal engine mounting (Mazda’s ‘K’ V6 was used for front-wheel drive, transverse applications), and created his own headers. The result is a car far more appealing than any standard Viva could ever hope to be.
