Vauxhall will open its Heritage Centre to the public on Sunday 18th
August as it celebrates its 110th birthday, giving everyone the chance
to see its private collection of historic vehicles.
With
cars from the current range alongside those dating back to 1903,
Vauxhall Heritage Centre’s annual open day is always a great day out for
the car enthusiast and, with entertainment, activities and refreshments
throughout the day, great for the family as well.
Visitors
will be able to view the company’s private collection of over 60
significant cars, including production models from every decade as well
as a selection of unique concept cars. Notable cars among the collection
include the 1903 5 HP, the second-oldest Vauxhall in existence, the
recently restored Firenza Droop Snoot, Astra MK1 GTE and the legendary
Lotus Carlton. There will also be the chance to see not one, but two of
the legendary 30-98 models, Britain’s first 100mph car, which celebrates
its centenary this year.
All cars are kept roadworthy and are fully-maintained in pristine condition by the Vauxhall Heritage Team.
The
open day is held at the Heritage Centre situated in the grounds of
Vauxhall’s head offices in Luton, located on Park Street and will run
from 10:00am until 4:00pm. General admission is free and open to all,
with free parking also provided.
