This info has been taken from: Whirligig-tv.co.uk Quiz inquisitor Michael Miles put contestants through a series of minor obstacles, including a sixty-second spot where the player had to answer questions without the use of words ‘yes’ or ‘no’ (“The Yes/No Interlude”) with Alec Dane who would immediately gong out the...
Another article from Vauxhall Mirror, this was taken from September 1964, a nice early article featuring the HA 1057 cc engine. JOHN HESELTINE (Project Engineer, Chaul End) and Derek Clark (Experimental,Sheet Metal) built a very special Special in 1960 and raced it for three years in the 1172 Championship. At...
Another little ditty from the Vauxhall Mirror collection I managed to obtain at Billing this summer, some of the material is interesting to say the least. here is a picture form the “summer spectacular” show of 1966, a great little tun out for Vauxhall to advertise its cars using the...

As promised whilst Marvin is still away I thought I would add some small little articles I found in the Vauxhall Mirror, this time as the title suggests this is about the Hell Drivers, these Canadian drivers were used by Vauxhall as you can see as an advertisement at various...
OOPS I was supposed to set the alarm for 4:30 am this morning so I could pack and get over to a friends swap cars and form a convoy heading to a big car show. Unfortunately I didn’t set the alarm I was so tired last night, and my normal...
