That Vauxhall is neat little car, glad the rugs are out for a good dry out. Makes for a better aroma inside the car too, cheers

Yeah I’ve hung up carpet in workshop and amount of water that’s came off is unreal. Maybe saveable as well . Floor breathing and drying now . Cheers

I had a VX490 back in the 90s, wicked motor, was working for Tyreservices Grays at the time. That car had everything done on it. I miss her now and my 81 3.0s Capri. Great video, keep her going.

A gem. I restored a saloon version a few years ago, in this colour, too. Great patina, will look very cool.

The wheels certainly do suit this model! Our neighbour had one, as a company car, when I was a boy (saloon). Had some pleasant rides in it! Still one of my favourite cars! I'm 71, so I remember these from when I was young. How old are you, incidentally? Whatever age you are ( nowhere near my own age, I think) you have excellent taste in appreciating something as timeless as this! Excellent seats, and Rostyle wheels! The favourite wheels of the day - though not fitted by Vauxhall. Factory fitted on Ford Mk 2 Cortina, SIXTEEN HUNDRED 'E' sports version. FIRST chromed, and later silver like this! Got into trouble financially on my pension (- worst pensions in Europe), otherwise I would certainly be pledging you some MONEY for this worthy cause! Keep up the good work, and enjoy your lovely car at the end of it!

Awesome cars all round the world in the 50s/60s/70s/80s and 90s proper cars . In U.K. 90s cars are getting hard to find snd expensive

@@vwcoco same here. Everyone is buying all the 90's cars and they're getting hard to find and when you do find one they want an arm and a leg for it!

Very rare. Nice that it has the 4-speed floor-change. With that grille it should/could be the 1595cc engine (from Sep '63). Technically those wheels are PCD 4x100mm and not suitable for those 4x4inch hubs.
