Vauxhall centenary celebrated with classic models

     
  06/09/2007 09:56:30  
 

Four classic Vauxhall vehicles will be on display in order to mark the 100 uninterrupted years in which the company has been manufacturing vehicles.

The British Motor Heritage Centre at Gaydon in Warwickshire will be displaying the 1911 C-Type Prince Henry, H-Type 10 hp from 1937, 1953's E-Type Wyvern and the Vauxhall Viva from 1979 until May 2008.

According to the British company, the Viva - on loan from Vauxhall's private heritage centre in Luton - comes with added historical weight.

"The Viva is the car for which the Ellesmere Port plant was first constructed and the HC model on display at Gaydon is the last of the line," the firm commented.

Vauxhall was originally founded in the London borough of the same name in 1903.

The car manufacturer is now a subsidiary of General Motors and in 2004, its operating income hit £131 million.
