Joris Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 An interesting vintage photo came up, showing a 1926 Vauxhall Six with a very strange rear-axle. Looking for advise.

RoadsterRich Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 To prove my ignorance (and I do know nothing about Vauxhall's)...<P>Is it possible this is not a roadster? Given the rear wheels, and the rather flat appearance of the rear of the car behind the passenger compartment, might it have been some form of a utlitarian vehicle? Maybe something akin to a truck type body behind the seats? Just a thought from my somewhat overactive imagination... hey ocassionally they are good ones... well okay on rare ocassions.<P>Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joris Posted February 28, 2002 Author Share Posted February 28, 2002 Hi Rich,<P>The same thought came to me. I wrote that it even could have been an aeroplane towing vehicle. More suggestions?<P>Joris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Joris, I wonder if the negative was reversed. The Vauxhall is right hand drive, but the spare wheel is blocking entry. I think this was once a sedan and had the rear body section removed. If anyone has a nice "30-98" Vauxhall that they would like to get rid, of please email me.

Guest Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 Prior to the General Motors takeover in '26 I think, Vauxhall made a large sleeve valve chassis, this might be one.<BR>Forgot what it was called dammit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 The VAUXHALL body seems original to me.<P>That kind of two seater with a flat section at the back was not uncommon just before and after WWI ; it was considered as sporty before the Bordino fashion.<P>I have a nice period picture of such a car on the Riviera, I guess in 1914. If the owner of the Vauxhall were interested Iwould be glad to mail a copy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joris Posted March 4, 2002 Author Share Posted March 4, 2002 Hi Gar 1928,<P>For sure the owner is interested in your photo. Me as well to be honest. Could you email the photo or don't you have a scanner?<P>thanks Joris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
