Thanks for that Mark,

I know little about Vauxhall's history, that was vary interesting, someone
else mentioned a Prince Henry, now I know what it is.  The only Vauxhalls
I've ever been in were my fathers Viva and his Victor, both of which I
remember fondly from my time as a small child.  We used to keep having to do
something with newspapers and chicken wire in the front wing (can't think
what that was) .   Despite the hostility some people seem to have towards me
restoring one, hey, why not?

Thanks again, Chris

Wasn't Vauxhall the first Brit make to be bought up by an American co, i.e.
General Motors?  In 1928 or thereabouts?  And could reasonably be thought of
as having produced the first "sports car" - the Prince Henry.

Absolute purists tend to rate the the Vauhall 30/98 as being better than the
equivalent Bentley, albeit some years younger.  Not driven or owned either,
so not in a position to comment.

Vauxhall?  I didn't know it was a British make, thanks for that. And to
think I wouldn't buy one as I only buy British cars. I wonder If I can find
an old Victor to do up some day.
