A-Type Vauxhall

A-Type Vauxhall

A-Type Vauxhall 1908-1915 and 1920

The 20hp A Type was the first production Vauxhall designed by Laurence Pomeroy: it became the most acclaimed 3 litre of its day and at Brooklands on 26th October 1910, it became the first 20 hp car to exceed 100 mph of any make in the world.

Pomeroy had joined Vauxhall Motors in 1906 as an assistant draughtsman, at the age of twenty-two, and first made his mark in the 1908 RAC and Scottish Reliability Trial, held in June of that year.
