New Vauxhall

Vauxhall has remained the main rival to Ford in the vital UK new car market for decades. Vauxhall won on a few occassions, scoring some vital points here and there, but invariably lost out to Ford by the end of each year. Nevertheless, the undoubted King of Retail is Vauxhall. Today Vauxhall is leading on the success of its VXR label - and its motor racing activities. Vauxhall didn't ignore the potency of motor sport, it assumed the mantle that was, for two decades the sole preserve of Team Ford. Vauxhall turned it into its own premise, complete with sensational VXR models in almost all of its extensive model range. Not surprisingly, the London borough of Vauxhall played its own part in the formation of the original Vauxhall Motors. This process was started in 1857 by Mr Alexander Wilson. Vauxhall's first vehicle was built back in 1903, but the company relocated to its current headquarters in Luton in 1905. Early Vauxhall products were well known for their sporty nature, although they became austere towards 1925, at which time General Motors acquired the Vauxhall company for the sum of $2.5m. Vauxhall's subsidiary, Bedford (more apt as Luton is at least within Bedfordshire) became established in 1930. The 1930s stock market crash determined that US trucks and commercial imports were no longer financially viable. From 1970, most Vauxhall's cars were modelled after Opels from Germany (also a company owned by GM), and so far, this situation remains the case today. The "V" on the Vauxhall logo remains and the Griffin emblem accompanying it originates from a mercenary soldier known as Fulk le Breant, who served King John in the 13th century. He was granted the manor of Luton as a reward and his home became known as Fulk's Hall, which was soon corrupted to Vauxhall. Wilson adopted the logo, little realising that it would return to its ancestral home eventually.
