Vauxhall Celebrates 110th Anniversary

At a time when Vauxhall is looking towards the future, and announcing a set of more powerful and economical engines for its new range, they're also finding time to celebrate the past.

On August 18, the Vauxhall Heritage Centre will be opening to showcase the history and heritage to celebrate their 110th birthday. Visitors will be able to view all the cars that made Vauxhall the company it is today, absolutely free. In addition, there will also be other activities and entertainment, and refreshments throughout the day.

There are over 60 cars in Vauxhall's heritage centre, including many classics, but also a number of concept cars from over the years.

There are several notable cars, such as the first production road car to reach 100mph, the 30-98.

There's an original Mk1 Astra GTE, too, and a Firenza Droop Snoot that was restored recently.

There's also some more modern examples too, such as the VXR220, the sports car based on a Lotus Elise. There will also be a Lotus Carlton on show, the first ever super-saloon, capable of 180mph.

The range of cars on offer date from 1903 up until the current line of cars. No matter what year your car is from though, rest assured that Megavaux have your Vauxhall or Opel covered, with cheap and safe parts for repairs.
