Description
The Vauxhall Victor FC was produced between 1963 and 1967. It was marketed as the “101” indicating the number of changes over the outgoing FB. The model sold reasonably well with nearly 250, 000 produced but they are a very rare sight today.
This car is a 1967 Victor FC Deluxe with optional four-speed floor change transmission, in Pinewood Green with a green trim. The mileage reading is 36, 000 – there is not enough history for us to guarantee this but it is almost certainly correct. An old MOT test sheet from 1987 shows the mileage at 33, 000.
We have just carried out a long list of cosmetic and mechanical improvements and the car now presents and drives beautifully. Within the last few hundred miles it has had an engine and gearbox oil change, new (electric) fuel pump, carburettor, fuel tank, sender unit and various brake and electrical parts including super bright halagon front lights.
The upper body and paint are good with various very minor imperfections and but they are only visible close up. The underside is also in good order, thanks to a dealer supplied under-seal and as far as we can see has never been welded with the exception of a small plate on the inner wing and one in one of the back doors. The window rubbers and bright-work are close to perfect and indicate a car that has always been garaged. The interior is in beautiful condition and is completely original right down to the carpets. On the road this outstanding Vauxhall drives very sweetly, the 1600cc pushrod engine is quiet and smooth and the controls have a light feel in keeping with the mileage reading.
This Victor is by no means a concours car – the upper body has had some paint and a few repairs but it is still remarkably original and an interesting alternative to a Farina or Cortina but certainly better value. We have sold various 60’s Vauxhalls and this one is surprisingly pleasant and comfortable to drive unlike some tired examples.
It comes with original service book and handbook, Vauxhall workshop manual for electrical items and various invoices.
Ready to use.
