One for classic Vauxhall fans

Post by jagnut66 »

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.

I think that version of the crest was even on my 1977 Viva seat belts.... :)

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.

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.

The flutes on either side of the Vauxhall bonnets are a nod to the Prince Henry Vauxhalls of yesteryear.
