Shep Shepherd Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 There MUST be older daily driver Vauxes in the county. It's a big place, after all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morris_ital_lover Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Ted has won himslef a performance driving course in the new Vauxhall Insignia VXR That should be interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 TBH all they will say is that she should have entered the competition but the newspaper article is a bit misleading, I'm sure there's a LOTS of 1 owner Vauxhalls still knocking about in the area much older then a 1986 Nova.

Guest Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 1990 Astra was our local winner. But the competition was for 1 owner cars and I believe people dont hold on to them like in the old days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXrescuer Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 My Aunt has now had contact with 9 other local Vauxhall owners who have all had their cars since new, one was bought in 1959! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I bet whoever thought up that comp is kicking themselves, no-one is gonna be arsed to enter it but when they publish the results you can bet your house that some clever sod is going to come out the woodwork with a 1922 Vauxhall Prince Henry that they great grandad bought back in the day and is still going to the shops in once a week.

boobydoo Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Well not according to my rather disgruntled Aunt who lives in Letchworth and has used her Viva daily since buying it new in 1968! I live in Letchworth and I've never seen her. I shall keep a beady eye. There are two shitty Nova saloons I've spotted a couple of times but thats about it on the classic front.
