Vauxhall cars have played a pivotal role in British motoring for over a century. The company established a formidable reputation in its early years with notable machines such as the Prince Henry, the 30/98, and the 1914 Grand Prix cars. Subsequently, it ventured into a more mainstream market segment, maintaining its position as a pioneer in innovation throughout the 1930s. Post-1945, Vauxhall emerged as one of the leading car manufacturers in Britain, catering to family needs with models like the Velox, Cresta, and Victor. It then built the highly successful Viva range of smaller models.

Closely associated with its German cousin, Opel, Vauxhall increasingly relied on Opel's designs after the mid-1970s. Astra, Cavalier, Nova, and Carlton were among the most beloved cars of their era, and the giant-killing 176mph Lotus Carlton remains unforgettable. This illustrated introduction delves into the history of Vauxhall cars, spanning from their inception in 1903 to the city cars and SUVs that currently dominate the Vauxhall product lines. As the company enters the twenty-first century, it continues to excel and remains a significant player in the automotive industry.
