What's that drop top Vauxhall?!

I'm not sure but here are a couple of pictures of it.

Off the road since 1992 ... Wonder what the floors are like?!

I don't think they did an official convertible either ...

Vauxhall Velox PA Convertible circa late 50's early 60's. The Cresta had differet trim level and two-tone paintwork.

Edit to add that I've never heard of a convertible before though, might have been from overseas as I know some were built in Australia and NZ.

Look at that convertible roof Looks like it used to be a saloon, even once a 4 door.
I posted this pic on here back in 2015. I think that is the original roof laying up against the garden wall!!
Or is that a removable hardtop???

Pretty sure there was no UK convertible.

'Friary' did a Estate conversion on them though:

I'd also go with a home made conversion on the Vauxhall, and not a good one.

It's been made into a two door, as you can tell by the (short) length of the front doors.

[Humper]

How you make a 2 door PA

[uk66fastback]

Yes, that's how to do it

[davebem]

This is round the corner from where I live and has always intrigued me. However a free reg plate checker says its a 1300 Beetle (and I dont think its trying to be funny)?

Love that 2 door Cresta, anybody know who's it is? For sale?

I think I remember a build thread of that 'Humper' posted PA. Was it on here?

Essence of the job was a Frankenstein mating with a Jag XKR. Great thread and some brilliant amateur engineering. I also remember a Victor crossed with something and a BMW 3 series with a MK1 Escort. Perhaps it was all the work of the same bloke. Hats off to him if so!

[uk66fastback]

Yes, the Cresta has been on here before for sure, I can only marvel at some people's ingenuity and passion.

The man hours in that car would be incredible I think ...

[Iva Barchetta]

Is this the other thing you're thinking of ?



That was taken last year,saw it few days ago in New paint.

Mad Max does Surrey.

That's to 52classic.

The 'engineering' on that thing is truly shocking, spent a good time going over it at Wheels Day.

It's why the IVA and DVLA Radically Altered Vehicle rules exist, and such a shame that people flout them.

[uk66fastback]

It's one ugly mutha, either way ...

Saw these on a farm near a business that I visited today! Quite sure not all of them are left to rot. I think there is a model T specialist that works from the farm so assume they must be theirs?

I assume that's a VW camper skeleton?

[garagewidow]

early 15? window splitscreen I think.

enough there for a resto.
