The world was a very different place in 1903 when
Vauxhall made its first car. We steered with tillers, not
wheels. Six horsepower was considered pretty nippy.
And King Edward’s face was still on the stamps. But
for us, one important thing hasn’t changed: we started
out with a philosophy of Forward
Thinking and, over
110 years later, it still motivates everything we do. Who
knows what innovations the next 110 years will bring?
