Looking through vauxhall. in the history of cars'
They had a photo of a hurricane type look a like. but they say nothing about it. just wondering what it is. it may have something to do with our hurricane?
Vauxhall also had a experiment car, called a XVR in 1966 it's a corvette type looking thing.
And a 1969 astro 3. concept car with a gas turbine engine.
