Description

Vauxhall C-Type 'Prince Henry' 1914 British Vauxhall's 'Prince Henry' was one of the first true sports cars. Originally introduced in 1911 with 3 litre engines, from 1913 a new 25hp 4 litre model became available. It was one of the fastest cars of the day. This particular car was purchased new by Mrs F.A. Cheverton in the Isle of Wight and was laid up in 1923 having covered only 15,000 miles. It has remained largely unused since. Vauxhall gained a sporting reputation following success in the 1908 RAC 2000 Mile Trial and other events. This led to cars being built for the 1910 Prince Henry Trials in Germany. The C-Type or 'Prince Henry' model was a replica of these and the most famous of all Edwardian Vauxhalls. Later the 'Prince Henry' was developed into the famous 30/98 model, one of the most iconic of all sports cars. Engine: 3969cc, 4 cylinders, side valves, 12hp Performance: 75mph Price New: £615 Manufacturer: Vauxhall Motors Limited, Luton, Bedfordshire Owner: Messrs J.B. and D.P.T. Cheverton

Housing a collection of over 250 automobiles and motorcycles telling the story of motoring on the roads of Britain from the dawn of motoring to the present day, the award winning (Winner - The International Historic Motoring Awards of the Year 2012) National Motor Museum appeals to all age groups. From World Land Speed Record Breakers including Campbell’s famous Bluebird to film favourites such as the magical flying car, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and rare oddities like the giant orange on wheels. Don’t miss exciting extra features such as the Motorsport Gallery, Wheels and Jack Tucker's Garage - A permanent, multi award-winning 1930's garage has been created within the Museum, complete down to the last nut and bolt and rusty drainpipe. Whilst the building is a complete fabrication, everything in it - all the fixtures, fittings, tools and ephemera - are genuine artefacts collected over a period of 25 years.
