The F Series Victors are quite an endangered species as many succumbed to the ravages of corrosion way before their time. Yet, here is not only a survivor but a very well-restored survivor that looks almost as pristine as the day it rolled off the assembly line. Festooned with American cues that were so popular in the late 50s. Yards of sumptuous chrome, curved front and rear screens, a bench seat and column change make for your very own Chevvie Bel Air lookalike. A bare metal body restoration and a full-engine build ensure you’ll get years of historic motoring from this little gem.

Current V5c
This car comes with a charming selection of period documents and memorabilia. There’s a selection of old Tax Discs as well as some very interesting manuals. A sales advert provides a delightful look back at the days when the Victor was new. There is no indication of who performed the restoration and at what cost, but there is a single invoice for a set of brand-new carpets. The car only changed hands in 2018 and was promptly restored before the recent Pandemic. Even with the absence of any substantial invoice trail, the car appears to have had a substantial amount of time and money spent to bring it to this delightful condition. There has been attention to detail to ensure the car remains faithful to its roots. The mileage is seemingly very low, but it cannot be verified.
The Interior
Two-tone interior
Smart, original blue seating
New fitted carpets
New headlining
These cars came from the factory with the two-tone interior as standard. The body colour continues across the dash and the soft areas like seats, door cards and carpets receive a contrasting blue to mimic the popular style from America. The carpets are new and were professionally supplied and fitted, although the side kick panels could do with a little work. The bench seats front and back are said to wear their original upholstery and show in fine condition, while the new headlining completes an attractive period interior. All the original switchgear is in place but has not been extensively tested.
The Exterior
Delightful original colour scheme
Full Body Respray
Plenty of Original Chrome
New Chrome Bumpers
White Walled Tyres
It is on good authority that the shell of the car was taken back to bare metal before being repainted in the original scheme. Much of the chromework has been saved and the bumpers re-chromed. The lighting is in very good order and is complete with a pair of period-correct spot lamps. To maintain the originality further, there is a charming American-style spot lamp attached to the Driver’s A post. The overall appearance is finished off with a set of hub-capped wheels that are fitted with white-walled tyres.
The Mechanics
Rebuilt Engine
3 Speed Column Gear Change
1507cc 4 Cylinder Engine
Standard Axle and Brakes
Custom Stainless Exhaust
The 1500cc engine ticks over quietly and the column gear change shifts easily, once you know where the gears are. There are no invoices to clarify the work done to the engine, but the previous owner has made it clear that the engine has been fully rebuilt. Everything mechanical has been kept standard and original to the car. The brakes, gear change and steering all operate as they should, although the steering is heavy at slow speeds which you would expect from a car of this era. The quality of work undertaken to complete this car appears very high and has resulted in the car operating just as it would when first built in 1959.
Summary
We are all painfully aware that Vauxhalls of this era are difficult to find as there are so few survivors. The ‘How Many Left’ website suggests a total of a mere 12 on the road at the end of last year. It is not surprising that when one as gorgeous as this one arrives on the market that it will attract plenty of interest. It is ready to enjoy as all the heavy lifting has been done for you, and by the look of it, done pretty well too. The coachwork is in a lovely period colour and the refreshed interior is in an opposing blue. The American influence that was so popular at the time ramps up the sheer charm of this old British Classic. Lovingly restored and ready to be adored.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.

Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
