Hi Malc,

Thanks for posting that up, never seen it before.

Probably like you, i remember when the Vauxhall museum was in the factory when i worked there back in the 80's.

I liked some of the aftermarket stuff that was available like The Black Prince, and some of the South African stuff was also very interesting and appealing.

Cheers.

Russ.

I never did get to see the museum.... and

When I was an apprentice I was at the Vauxhall school up at the airport.
To get to the workshop I passed a building where an old guy rebuilt/restored Vauxhall vehicles.
He restored them and they were used at dealerships for advertising.
He used to complain about the state they were returned in,
always needed some kind of repair.
Tasty little job that was for a retired guy.
