VAUXHALL MOTORS
Vauxhall Motors was first formed in 1907 by Alexander Wilson and continued as
one of Britain's largest car manufacturers until purchased by General Motors in
1925. Since the 1970s Vauxhall models have been heavilly influenced by the Opel
marque which was also acquired by GM in 1929. However, since its first
production model in 1907, the brand has been almost exclusively sold in the U.K.
As at 2009, Vauxhall is owned by General Motors and Magna International Inc of
Canada while later that year, further ownership changes will leave GM with only
a 35% stake in its once owned subsidiary.
From the DX models of the 30s
(I restored one to concours in the 90s)
through the Wyverns and Velox, Vauxhall have produced some vehicles worthy of
collecting and mentioned here.
