1925 Vauxhall 14-40 Princeton Tourer - previously supplied by us
The Vauxhall 14-40 made its debut at the 1921 London Motor Show, with the first deliveries reaching the public the following year. Designed by Clarence King, this new model featured a 2. 3 litre 4-cylinder engine mounted in-unit with a three-speed gearbox.
Six models were listed, including two and four door Tourers, three styles of saloon, plus Landaulette and Coupe models.
1924 saw the introduction of the improved ‘LM’ Series, with a higher compression engine now developing 40 bhp. A four-speed gearbox was now fitted, as were wire wheels in place of the previous disc type. As with the larger Vauxhall models, the 14/ 40 was much favoured in the Antipodes, as well as many other parts of the British Empire where road conditions demanded a sturdily built motor car.
The 1925 Princeton Tourer we present here was imported from Australia in 1999, whereupon it was extensively restored over a six-year period both bodily and mechanically with work undertaken by a respected marque specialist.
A new set of Blockley tyres has recently been fitted and there is also an Auster rear passenger windscreen.
