why no love for beford/vauxhall?

Well compared to BL and Ford anyhoo.
Vauxhall built wwII tanks, rally Chevettes, Bedford trucks that lasted years around the world.
And compared to BL & Ford, still make cars in the UK.

ffs! Not another Vauxhall knocking thread, this is getting boring.....

My last six brand new cars have been Vauxhalls (not company cars)....They have ALL been 100% reliable, and the dealers first class.

Actually not a knocking thread, but in the classic scene they are not so hotly contested.
Vauxhall have a following in Sweden and other places in the classic scene.
They are a MASSIVE part of UK motoring and manufactruing heritage.
We can turn this thread into a love in.
I borrowed a mates Viva for six months and it had a very stiff chassis, one of the stiffest ever apparently (before the modern era).
Felt solid and dependable. Lime green metallic two door.
I like these:
