About Vauxhall

“Forward Thinking” has always been the Vauxhall’s mantra, a ceaseless quest for excellence, a determination to make each car better than the last and a knowledge that the best is yet to come. The company began life in 1887 as an ironworks to produce marine engines. In the Y-Type, Y1 was a great success at the 1908 RAC & Scottish 2000 Mile Reliability Trials; from this the outstanding A Type Vauxhall was developed. General Motors bought the company in 1925 and owns the company to date. The Cadet model was launched, which was the first British car to have a synchromesh gearbox. Bedford Vehicles was established alongside Vauxhall in the 1930s, and continues to produce vans today. The Opel model, produced in Germany, was popular in Europe in the 1970s. Current automobile ranges include the Astra, Meriva and Zafira which focus on style and everyday usability.
