A range of three-cylinder cars with wheel steering followed, the first of which was seen in 1904.
Prior to 1925, when Vauxhall was taken over by General Motors, the company was renowned for producing handsome, finely engineered cars that put it on a par with Bentley or Sunbeam.
Laurence Pomeroy's tenure as Chief Engineer saw the firm, which had relocated to Luton, produce some of the truly outstanding designs of the Edwardian period, commencing with the 20hp Prince Henry in 1910.
A larger (4.0-litre) version of the Prince Henry's four-cylinder sidevalve engine was developed for its successor, the D-Type which, with some 70bhp on tap, was good for 70mph-plus when not overburdened by formal coachwork.
