The Appeal

Here’s a real period piece!

The VX Series was the last run of Vauxhall Victors, signalling the end of an era that had begun way back in 1957. Once a mainstay of every British high street, cars like this supremely Victor are now very hard to find, especially in such good original condition.

This 1978 car looks superb inside and out, with minimal wear for its age and period features retained like its Sharp stereo cassette player. With thriving events like the Festival Of The Unexceptional (FOTU), there’s never been a better time to buy a car like this. Reportedly driving very well and even offered with a voluntary MOT, this Vauxhall is ready to be enjoyed by a new keeper
