The Appeal
The Vauxhall VX 4/90 was Britain's answer to the growing demand for sporty saloons in the 1960s, competing directly with the Ford Cortina GT and Triumph 2000. With twin Zenith carburettors, a manual gearbox, and 71 BHP, it offered the performance to match its sporting pretensions.
This 1965 example has been preserved in very good condition. Having spent the majority of its life in the dry, salt-free climate of inland South Africa, this VX 4/90 has escaped the corrosion that claimed so many of its counterparts. The car has been meticulously maintained and sympathetically restored by its second keeper, ensuring it remains a true representation of Vauxhall's sporting aspirations of the era.
