Nice very nice, my first Vauxhall was a 3.3 litre Velox hydramatic I thought it was the mutts nuts!! It was a 1964 model I had it in 1972 when I was 18 can still remember the insurance was £156.00 a lot of money then!

I've been to the Heritage Centre twice with the Vectra Owners Club. The 2 guys who run the centre are very knowledgable and have real passion for what they do.

The collection is fantastic and includes some awesome machines including a few one-offs and concepts.......









....and not forgetting this.....

I though most Astra GTE's ended up banana shaped around Trees, Lampposts and sign posts thanks to the "Joyriders"!!!

Just spotted an HB Viva in the same colour as my first car. I really will have to visit the centre at some point. :)
