Hi,
There's a pair of static seat belts on eBay, engraved with a 50's / 60's version of the Vauxhall crest, perfect for your classic Vauxhall, if anyone on here's interested.
Link below.
Best wishes,
Mike.

Vauxhall have used the Griffin badge for about 100years. It is taken from the coat of arms for Luton I believe which is the home of Vauxhall cars.

Re: One for classic Vauxhall fans
i love 50's and 60's Vauxhall's,in fact i've been thinking of adding a FB or FC Victor to my small fleet of classics..i'm just worried that i'd dissolve overnight,with their rust problems
does anyone on here run one? best of all i like the PB Cresta's..but very few left i'd imagine.

Re: One for classic Vauxhall fans
The flutes on either side of the Vauxhall bonnets are a nod to the Prince Henry Vauxhalls of yesteryear.
