Length of the rear bumper wrap-around is too long and rear lights would wrap around also (about half that of the bumper ends), see bumper and lights detail here... /vehicle_34521-Vauxhall-Viva-HB-1967.html Turn-button on the boot is too high. Number/licence plate is below the bumper not above as HB (although I guess this could be changed). The rear details are most similar to the [FE] Victor (lights and bumper as here /vehicle_103668-Vauxhall-Victor-FE-1973.html ) but I cannot be certain because other details are blurred. Design of hubcaps look right for Vauxhall also. Comments please?
