'Droop Snoot'
In 1973 Vauxhall endeavoured to set about producing a high performance version of their Viva HC variant, the Firenza which they hoped would compete with the Ford Capri.
Although using the same bodyshell as the standard Firenza model the 120mph 131bhp 'performance' edition incorporated an aerodynamic nose designed to improve performance and fuel consumption.
This resulted in the models quickly becoming known as 'Droop Snoots'
Seen at the 2015 Goodwood Festival Of Speed.
