1962 Vauxhall FB Saloon – Concours Condition For Sale
The FB launched in 1961 reflected the transatlantic styling popular across Europe at the time and over 320, 000 examples were manufactured before production ceased in 1964. The car received a revised engine with optional four speed floor change and was available as a saloon or estate. The FB was popular with the public but rust protection was poor and this has resulted in good examples being an incredibly rare sight,
Milestone Classics are delighted to offer for sale one of the best restorations we have ever seen and a car that I would like to keep for myself – it is utterly stunning…..
Manufactured in 1962 our Primrose/ Honey Gold FB Victor was purchased new by a lady living in Barry and for 10 years the car was used for local shopping trips covering a total of 13, 000 miles. When she passed away in the early 1970’s her son kept the car but never used her. By 1996 she was in a poor condition and was sold on with the intention of keeping the number plate and the car being used as a banger racer! Fortunately, she was rescued and put back on the road and used as a daily driver for several years.
In 2008 the car was purchased by the fourth owner and a complete photographic restoration was initiated with able assistance from a variety of friends – the result is one of the best FB’s in the world.
The car was stripped to a bare shell and all corrosion removed. The fabrication of the replacement body components/ panels is of the highest standard and very impressive. Professionally resprayed in the stunning combination of primrose yellow & honey gold and with all chrome replaced the Victor looks superb.
All mechanical components were inspected during the rebuild and refurbished or replaced as required. On the road the FB is a pleasure to drive with light steering and precise floor gear change.
All seats & door cards have been re-trimmed in the original colour scheme and carpets, roof lining, dash etc. replaced. The dashboard looks superb and everything works as it should - including the original Vauxhall valve radio.
The is a large history file containing invoices from the restoration, old V5’s, original drivers handbook & service book, memory stick (+ CDROMs) containing 100’s of pictures and the story is told through an online blog that runs to 30 pages
(see: - details above)
Cars this remarkable rarely come to market. The 1960’s interior/ exterior styling and pastel colour scheme is a stunning combination. Ready to use and enjoy the FB will provide the new owners with lots of fun and happy memories for many years to come.
