Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1922 Vauxhall 25hp D-Type Tourer, estimated at £40,000 - £50,000, has a rich history including time in Argentina and participation in rallies during the 1990s. While it requires recommissioning due to being largely unused since 2013, recent engine work and a vast collection of technical papers make it a straightforward project for enthusiasts.
Condition
6
The car is described as notably original with sympathetic restorative and mechanical works. It presents beautifully but has been largely unused since 2013, requiring some recommissioning. There have been repairs to the driver’s seat and minor body/paint repairs. Therefore it shows moderate wear and some reconditioning is required.

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 and 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 (four-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...
