Vauxhall Victor series 2 de luxe motor car

Vauxhall Victor series 2 de luxe motor car, registration no. 6532MH, engine no. 340817, chassis no. FE340464, 1960. The Victor, one of Vauxhall Motors best-selling models in the 1960s, was introduced in 1957 as a four door saloon with a completely redesigned body - a panoramic windscreen, wrap-around rear window and traditional Vauxhall flutes along the body sides. Series 1 was succeeded in 1959 by series 2 models, recognised by smooth body side panels, full width radiator grille and smooth wrap-around bumpers.

The Vauxhall Victor was a commercially successful car introduced in 1957. This particular model is the luxury version of the series 2 Vauxhall Victor and features bucket seats and two-tone leather upholstery. The design of the car was heavily influenced by American car designs and had a panoramic windscreen and curved fluting along the car body. The Victor continued to sell well despite receiving criticism for this American influenced styling and Vauxhall’s recent reputation for making rust-prone vehicles, making Vauxhall Victors one of the bestselling cars produced by Vauxhall.
