STORY

The Firenza was a two-door coupe version of the Viva HC, launched in 1971 to give Vauxhall a sporty fastback. It is best remembered for the limited-run Firenza HP, nicknamed the 'Droop Snoot' for its aerodynamic glass-fibre nose, which paired a 2.3-litre slant-four with a five-speed gearbox. Production of the standard Firenza ended in 1975.
