My mate had a Vauxhall Viva HB with skinny tyres, way better in the snow than my fat tyred Cortina.I also had a Herald as my first car. Great in the snow as the skinny tyres went through the snow as opposed to sitting on top as modern fat tyres do.
Mind you if you had the lights on and the heater on when you turned on the after market stick-on heated rear window it would stall as the dynamo couldn't produce enough electricity if stationary in traffic.
