As the heritage centre opened it doors to vxscc members, i took the chance to capture some of the finest vauxhalls on camera

VX Lightening - Vauxhall Concept.

Astra 888 Coupe.

Astra mk2 GTE, Astra mk2 4S rally car & Chevette HSR rally car.

Baby Bertha - Driven by Gerry Marshall.

Calibra SE9, 2.5 V6.

XVR - Vauxhall supercar built in 1966, although the Opel GT looked very similar, also where Vauxhall got the name VXR from for their sports range.

Silver Aero - Based on the mk1 cavalier & styled by Wayne Cherry, this supercar had a firm 500 orders placed for production however it remains the only one, it has a 2.4 turbo charged engine producing 150bhp & easily capable of 120mph+
