Hargerty and Vauxhall

[crankedup]

Hagerty Insurance nominate thier top ten Vauxhall in view of the PSA takeover. Fair play they do mention that GM took over Vauxhall back in the day, but how can anybody call a top ten Vauxhall without the Prince Henry and the glorious 30/98.
These cars are proper Vauxhall after all.

It appears to be a list of Hagerty's top ten GM Vauxhalls. Perhaps they are ignorant of the earlier cars.

Many consider Pomeroy's Prince Henry to be the first proper English sports car.

I would hope that, as VSCC's favoured insurer, they would know of the pre-GM cars.

Great picture of a great car.
Surely they are aware of what I call proper Vauxhalls.

More proper Vauxhalls: 30-98 line-up at their centenary celebration at Shelsley Walsh in 2013

Splendid line up, thanks for posting. Disappointing response of just to enthusiasts cements my thoughts that interest in pre 1930 cars has truely diminished. I miss my vauxhall 20/60 but had a notion that in five years time it would not sell at all!

This section is called "Classic Cars . . . ", and we who have a foot in the pre-war camp are not really at home here, but every now and then we get a chance . . .

Plenty of pre war enthusiasts here but this forum is not really the "vehicle" for our interest

I get that,, but why? Perhaps there should be section for vintage cars and motorbikes.

Good idea. A 'pre-war' forum?

I have put in a request for such a forum and seek support from fellow enthusiasts.
