What do we think it is? A Magnum?

James did a bit of pro mo work for Vauxhall ( and also drove a Magnum on the 74 Avon Tour of Britain ) from memory I think that’s a Viva he is driving in the watch shot, for a Viva advert.

I think it’s a Magnum or Firenza as it looks to have the 7 dial dash which I don't think was ever fitted to Vivas

I was gonna say Heuer as iirc it was a team sponsor so he would've been given one gratis. Also wasn't Vauxhall considered a bit upmarket then? Not quite Jag or Rover but a bit plusher than Ford or Austin.

My Viva 2300sl from back in the day had the 6 dial dash, so not exclusive to the Magnum and Firenza models smile
