The Vauxhall 12 is one of the Vauxhall entries the open record knows by name, and by little else. That is not nothing: a name in the catalogue is where a car's story starts to be recoverable.
The background
Vauxhall Motors used the 12 name for two different cars in the 1930s.
Vauxhall Light Six The 1933 Light Six was available in two engine sizes, 12 hp and 14 hp. It was updated for the 1936 Motor Show with a rounded grille. Vauxhall 12-4 A total redesign introduced in September 1938 and given the 12-4 name, the new model featured a longer six-light body based on the Vauxhall 10 and a 4-cylinder 1.4-litre engine
Where it sits
Its Vauxhall stablemates include the Vauxhall 10-4 and the Vauxhall 30/98.
