Not just any old Vauxhall but the Southward Museum's 1924 Vauxhall 30-98 Velox touring car, OE175. Acquired from Australia by Len Southward in the 1960's and restored in the mid 1970's. When the 30-98 was reintroduced to the market in 1919 it was the fasted four-seat production car available being guaranteed by the works to exceed 80MPH in full touring trim and 100MPH stripped on the track at Brooklands. I owned OE127 for 10 years, they are a wonderful motorcar.
