Bijzonderheden
The Victor’s styling was very much a miniaturised version of what Vauxhall’s parent company, GM, were doing in Detroit during 1957. In America, Harley Earl’s ‘GM Art and Colour Section’ did not have to use 13-inch wheels and stick to a width of only 1580mm. This meant the styling did not translate quite as elegantly as it shoiuld have done. However the lively performance, roomy boot and comfortable accomodation made the car a good seller over its five-year production life, with 390.747 examples being produced. The FA was also famous for having a dogleg at the base of its wrap around windscreen that appeared tp have been placed specifically to bruise your knee in when getting in or out the car. Limited edition of 2.510 (with certificate)
