1934 Vauxhall

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at the NEC Classic Motor Show 2026 on Sunday the 15th of November, NEC, Birmingham, B40 1NT. Estimated price: GBP 6,000 - GBP 10,000.

Introduced during the early 1930s, the Vauxhall Light Six offered smooth six-cylinder motoring in a more compact and affordable package, becoming an important model for Vauxhall during the period

This 1934 example is powered by its 1,530cc six-cylinder engine, mated to a four-speed manual gearbox, finished in maroon and black over a brown interior

The car has enjoyed remarkably low ownership throughout its 92-year life, with our vendor advising that it has had just four owners from new, including himself

We understand that it was originally purchased new in London and retains its original bill of sale, adding an appealing piece of early provenance to the accompanying history

It also retains its original handbooks, old logbooks and a factory lead weight, with a superb history file accompanying the car

The Vauxhall was restored in 1984 and has reportedly required very little work since, our vendor describes it as being in very good condition today

Importantly, the restoration appears to have retained the car's character, with our vendor advising that with the exception of the zinc sprayed items during the work, everything remains original

The car has been in our vendor's ownership for the last seven years and has been enjoyed as an interesting and usable example of Vauxhall's pre-war six-cylinder saloon

With its handsome period styling, compact dimensions and smooth six-cylinder engine, the Light Six offers a particularly appealing route into pre-war motoring
