The 1971 Firenza arrived as Vauxhall's answer to the MG Midget and Triumph Spitfire, targeting buyers who wanted a nimble, affordable coupé without British sporting pretension. Built on the Viva platform, it paired a 1,599 cc engine producing 81 bhp with front-wheel drive practicality—a formula that undercut its rivals on price while matching their agility.

The hatchback proved most popular, offering genuine practicality against rivals like the Datsun Cherry and Renault 5. Trim levels ranged from basic L to the better-equipped G
