Overview

For over 120 years, Vauxhall has been more than just a car manufacturer-it has been part of the very fabric of British life. From the first rickety 5 hp vehicles built on the banks of the Thames to the sleek electric models quietly gliding through twenty-first-century streets, Vauxhall's journey mirrors the social, economic, and technological evolution of Britain itself. This definitive history chronicles every twist and turn: the early motorsport triumphs, the heroic wartime production, the family-car revolution, the Cavalier and Astra years, and the brand's modern transformation under global ownership. With vivid storytelling and meticulous research, Vauxhall: Britain's Motoring Heartbeat captures the human stories behind the machines, the factory gates, and the badge that has graced millions of driveways. From roaring petrol engines to silent electric motors, Vauxhall's resilience, reinvention, and deep connection to the people it serves make it not just a carmaker, but a national icon.
