Hey guys,

Yesterday I was lucky enough to visit Vauxhall's Heritage Fleet. Thought I'd share my photographs from the trip with you lot.













Here's the full gallery: https://revmatch.me/2016/08/24/vauxhall-heritage-f...

Cheers,

Oli

Brilliant photos as always - thanks for sharing them. It's a shame these heritage fleets aren't made into permanent exhibitions.
Cheers Swooshiain, I have a feeling that the Vauxhall one does have public open days although I suspect they're few and far between.

They do hold a number of events there, but it's not really big enough to do all that much with. They kindly opened up to host our clubs 40th anniversary of the HP Firenza launch a couple of years ago.



Archives are interesting too - they had a lot of photos and internal memos and stuff on show when we were there.

Yeah, they're definitely short on space! Nice of them to put on that event, the cars look fantastic.

There was a PH Sunday Service at Vauxhall Heritage a couple of years ago.

Wasn't very well attended as Vauxhall isn't a glamorous enough name for some.

I did attend ,saw some of these rare cars and enjoyed the day.
Ah, that's a shame, I can't help but feel like some of these cars are rather unappreciated, particularly when compared to the equivalent Fords.

Glad you enjoyed it though.

Yeah, tons of pre-war stuff - iirc, the Viva GT was having the finishing touches applied after 3 years or so of restoration, looked amazing.
