The Vauxhall Cresta is a 4-door saloon from Vauxhall, built from 1954 to 1972, at the height of the post-war boom. Under the bonnet: 2.3 .
How it came about
The Vauxhall Cresta is a British automobile which was produced by Vauxhall from 1954 to 1972. The Cresta was introduced in 1954 as an upmarket version of the Vauxhall Velox, itself a six-cylinder version of the Vauxhall Wyvern. The Cresta models were the E (1954–1957), PA (1957–1962), PB (1962–1965) and PC (1965–1972). The Viscount (1966–1972) was an upmarket Cresta PC.
The hardware
Power comes from 2.3 . It shifts through a 3-speed manual. The wheelbase is 103 in. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Family and rivals
Its family tree is legible: it took over from the Vauxhall Velox PB Series (since 1965); its successor was the Vauxhall Ventora FE; assembly was at United Kingdom. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, the Chevrolet Corvette — show what else the money bought that year. Its Vauxhall stablemates include the Vauxhall 10-4 and the Vauxhall 30/98.
What it costs now
There is no federal ownership record for the Vauxhall Cresta — it predates the complaint database or was never sold in the United States — so MotorJury publishes no running-cost figure for it. For a car of this age the price is set by the collector market and the condition of the individual example, not by a formula.
