Vauxhall 23/60 Velox Style Tourer 1923 , with 30/98 spec engine

This car is one of the many Vintage Vauxhall’s which were exported to Australia in the 1920’s.

The Vauxhall was found in the 1970’s in the outback of Australia in a very complete condition , but the “Kingston”body was in a poor condition. The  restoration was started in the 1990’s , including the build of a new body in the style of  the 30/98 Velox Vauxhalls. 

The engine was rebuild and upgraded by an engineer  to 30/98 specifications; 98bore , camshaft profile to 30/98 , new cam follewers, modern conrods, new domed pistons. 

Gearbox overhauled with new bearings and close ratio gears.

The car has; 4 wheels brakes with the Kidney-box on the front wheels,  the orignal CAV lights and side light plus the CAV control swith panel.

This Vauxhall is a good alternative for a 30/98 , with enough space for the (tall)driver and passengers.

Its very good looking and impressive car with a powerful engine ,
