1923 | Vauxhall 23/60

This striking 1923 Vauxhall 23/60 Tourer is a beautifully restored and expertly upgraded example of early British engineering, offering the charm of the 1920s with the performance and presence of a much more exclusive motorcar.

History & Restoration:

Originally one of the many Vauxhalls exported to Australia during the 1920s, this car was discovered in the 1970s in the Australian outback—remarkably complete, though the original “Kingston” body was beyond saving. A sympathetic and thorough restoration began in the 1990s, during which a new body was crafted in the style of the legendary Vauxhall 30/98 Velox models.

Mechanical Highlights:

The engine has been professionally rebuilt and uprated to 30/98 specifications, including:

• 98mm bore
• 30/98 camshaft profile with new cam followers
• Modern conrods
• Domed pistons
• Overhauled gearbox with new bearings and close-ratio gears

This results in a very lively, responsive car—perfect for historic touring and long-distance events.

Additional Features:

• Four-wheel braking system with front “Kidney-box” drums
• Original CAV headlamps, side lights, and dashboard control panel
• Spacious cockpit offering comfort for tall drivers and passengers alike
• Road-registered in the Netherlands with recent rally history

Proven on the Road:

This Vauxhall is not just a showpiece—it’s a capable and proven touring car. Most recently, it completed the 2024 1000 Miles of Czechoslovakia without a single issue, and it has been used regularly in rallies and classic events across Europe.

A 30/98 Alternative:

For those who admire the 30/98 but seek a more accessible entry point, this 23/60 Velox-Style Tourer offers stunning period looks, robust mechanicals, and exhilarating performance—all at a fraction of the price.

This is a rare opportunity to own a handsome, well-prepared vintage Vauxhall that’s ready for immediate use and capable of delivering unforgettable motoring experiences.
