The Vauxhall Light Six is a 4-door saloon / 2-door coupé / 2-door roadster from Vauxhall, built from 1933 to 1938, when streamlining and independent suspension were arriving together. Under the bonnet: 1530cc or 1781cc I6.
What is underneath
Power comes from 1530cc or 1781cc I6. The layout matters: a front engine drives the rear wheels, the classic proportion — long bonnet, cabin set back — that most people picture when they picture a sports saloon or a grand tourer. The wheelbase is 101 in. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Its place in the line
Its family tree is legible: it took over from the Vauxhall Cadet; its successor was the Vauxhall 14-6; assembly was at United Kingdom. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Bugatti Type 57, the Chevrolet Suburban, the Tatra 75 — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the Vauxhall catalogue sit the Vauxhall 10-4 and the Vauxhall 30/98.
What it costs now
MotorJury scores cars on the United States complaint and recall record, and the Vauxhall Light Six has none: too old, too rare, or never sold there. Its value today is a collector's question, decided by provenance and condition rather than by a class average.
