| book description |

This fascinating account of Vauxhallâ€™s long and impressive career in the world of motorsport provides a wealth of information. Telling the story of Vauxhallâ€™s early racing achievements, its later rallying successes of the 1970s and â€™80s, right through to its achievements in the 21st Century, the book is also fully illustrated throughout with period photographs. Vauxhall's participation in motorsport commenced in 1904 in the Glasgow to London trial. This was followed by numerous successful participations in reliability trials, Shelsley Walsh hill-climbs, Brooklands races and international events, including Grand Prix races. A Vauxhall was the first 20hp car to exceed 100mph. It also took part in the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy races. The 30/98 model appeared in 1913 and is regarded as Britain's first sports car, proving to be very successful in competition. Following Vauxhall's withdrawal from motorsport in 1924, private owners continued to compete with much success. On three occasions the ""Vauxhall Villiers"" special achieved fastest time of the day at Shelsley Walsh. The 1970s saw Dealer Team Vauxhall rallying the Chevette models with considerable success, meanwhile saloon car racer, Gerry Marshall, raced a variety of models again with great success. Entering Touring Car racing in 1990, Vauxhalls were British Touring Car manufacturers' champions on no less than nine occasions. All this and more is covered in this comprehensive and well-researched book: the only complete record of Vauxhallâ€™s lifelong sporting achievements.
