Vauxhall has been making cars in Britain for longer than anyone
else. The name entered the UK industrial lexicon in 1897, when the
Vauxhall Iron Works Company was formed to run the bankrupt
engineering business founded by Alexander Wilson in 1859. The first
Vauxhall car left the Thames side works in 1903. The company moved
to Luton in 1905, and the solely car-making company Vauxhall Motors
Limited was formed in 1907. Famed as a maker of sporting and luxury
cars, Vauxhall was bought by the American giant General Motors in
1925. GM took the company into a new era of mass production and
turned it into one of the top five car companies in the UK. After
the Second World War, Vauxhall became the household name it is
today, with models such as Viva, Astra, Cresta, Victor, Nova, and
Cavalier. The journey from the Thames to today's plants at
Ellesmere Port and Luton is full of twists, turns, dramas, and
triumphs. Ian Coomber worked at Vauxhall for thirty-eight years,
progressing from apprentice to the boardroom. He has told the
Vauxhall story with the benefit of years of experience and a
lifelong passion for the marque.
