Beschreibung
Here is a lovely old Vauxhall 14 Deluxe 4-door saloon with the straight six 1782cc engine, putting out 43bhp and four speed gearbox. The car is finished in Aubergine and black and has the original blue leather interior. This is the actual car that features on the Wikipedia page for the Vauxhall Light Six, although pictured then with its original reg HS8618 which was sadly removed by a previous owner.
It starts, stops and runs exactly as a 30's car should and the 6 cylinder engine is surpringly smooth.
For it age, now 87 years, it is in very presentable condition, and although not concours, it is up to the local show or club meet standard. The patina is charming, and it would spoil it to change anything. Its a perfectly driveable, reliable classic and ideal as a family entry to 1930s motoring.
In recent years, work has included a new electric fuel pump, new carb, new headlining and chrome, plugs, distributor and regulator. It runs excellent oil pressure and the trafficators still work.
Paintwork on the bonnet has lifted along the edge - see pics- but doesn't detract from the overall fine looks. It is excellent underneath and the tyres are in very good condition.
