...that's what I was up to on Wednesday. Thoroughly entertaining day at Vauxhall's Heritage Centre in Luton. (Also driving some new stuff, but that probably won't be of interest here.) Clicky for snaps.

I'd happily have ANY of them, apart from the modern rollerskates.
Some real peaches in that lot!
On a side note, a chap came past our work last week in one of the original rebadged Holden Monaros. Christ on a bike did it sound good as he spun it up down the length of the close!

I'll have the mk 1 Cav, the light green Viva and a large dollop of the velour-tastic Royalle.
Pick of the bunch has to be that Chevette, if you drove that I'm very jealous.

Friend of mine who worked at Vauxhall and with the heritage people just told me of how they came to own a 1904 Vauxhall after a woman went to a main dealer to part exchange it for a Vauxhall Viva then the 1904 whatever model was restored by Vauxhall. My friend did the sheet metal work. Bit of a lad as he owns a Ford Special right back from mid 1960 s and was a mean quarter mile drag enthusiast but now retired restoring old locomotives in deepest Norfolk. Just thought id share that.
