I like the tuned length exhaust manifolds and the single carb feeding all 6 ..... no 1 & no 6 must be starved of fuel compared to 3 & 4 ;D

Always adored the PAs, always thought they were so ruddy cool. In The Specials music video Ghost Town they're driving a PA Cresta/Velox.
Nuff said :y

The american influence is clear to see.
The yanks always did like a fin. :y

Really interesting site if you like your older Vauxhalls, pre-Opel.
http://vauxpedianet.uk2sitebuilder.com/vauxhall-pa---velox-cresta (http://vauxpedianet.uk2sitebuilder.com/vauxhall-pa---velox-cresta)
that link is the design development for the PA series, and I find it a thoughly interesting read :)

If you took the fins off the back you'd be hard pushed to tell front from back from the side.. it looks like they put the roof on back to front as it is :-\

My dad had a yellow & white one of these many years ago, I think the reg was 323 SKL I thought it was the dogs back then.

While we are getting all nostalgic over old Vauxhall motors I'll chip in and say that my (late) uncle owned a 1965 Victor 101.
It seemed huge to me at the time. :y
-
I actually owned one of these in 1963,it cost me about £110 and it was pink!
I clearly remember having to buy a new set of tyres for it including the spare, and argued with the price quoted, £29!!!!!!
Now why didnt I keep it?

because it'd be rust in the bottom of a box by now ...... they weren't much better when they drove out of the show room

This thing is huge, but might have provided some of the styling cues :-\

Cars nice but pricey .
I was outbid by £1 on a BMW E28 from this seller last year . He is easily the best seller I've come across for photographing the cars he sells showing every panel from all angles . I asked him for more precise photos on the car I was interested in and he sent them to me within hours ,all were crystal clear and exactly as I had asked for.
I've referred other sellers to his approach on several occasions .
