1951 Vauxhall Velox LIP


This model had a 2.275 litre straight-six-cylinder engine.  This example, seen outside an automotive repair shop in Foxton and obviously used as an advertising ornament, would have been assembled in Petone.

  1. I was sure that engine in the LIP would have been around 1800cc
    The later one EIP had a 2300 CC engine, and the first PAs had 2200 approx
