    Just spotted this pic, forget where I stole it, unfortunately this piece of English Kustom history is no longer with us, now I know I got some more pics of this on here somewhere dammit. Any ideas what it is?

    Yeah Dice was on, I'll see if I've got any pics, was a pretty piss poor turnout though. We're moving it to the South Coast this year so fingers crossed.

    Glad to see these threads again. Can anyone tell me how to pronounce Vauxhall? Is the x silent? I don't want to sound like a dumb*** when I say it.

    We had a 59 Vauxhall station wagon when I was a kid, and the neighbors down the street had a 58 4 door sedan. And this in Tulsa, Oklahoma of all places.

    We had to push start the Vauxhall to get it started and hit the curb to stop it. And it was less than five years old when we owned it!
