Unsure of its past life, looks to have spent a lot of time on dirt due to all the dust that has been washed off from underneath. Future plans are to repaint in medium olive green fine raptor coat and black raptor the tray.
Modifications
Mace engineering ported Throttle Body, 12mm plenum spacer and Memcal. Pod Filter, SL springs, rear muffler delete, Alpine Head Unit, rhino lock box custom mounted to tray floor.
Thats a great looking Vauxhall Les

Simply spectacular.

Hiya,
Ive entered the 2020 Shannons Show n Shine and was hoping you could have a look at my 1976 Toyota Corona entry and hit the VOTE button for me too please. The link to my entry page is here ...
https://www.shannons.com.au/club/show-n-... Thanks for reading, Lynne.
Very well put their PonyRider, thanks for that and understand with having health issues including some sight loss also mate.
Its a nice looking classic just the same.
Hey Les Preston 444 ~~~ I fully understand you having to part with the Vauxhall, and I bet that hurts after you have spent so many man hours to get it to the great look it has now. The black stripes don't look bad at all it is just that I think Blinkie and me are diehards when it comes to originality & chrome bumpers etc.,
However, as it is, I think the total look of your Velox might attract a wider variety of age-groups, with more younger people being keen to own a classic that turns heads. Extra photos look great !
Good luck with the sale !
I can relate to pensioner income too, as I am on age pension and have to be careful with the dollars.
Fortunately I have a mechanic who is more than fair whenever my Mustang needs anything done.
.
Hope you can deal with the health issues, and you can proudly say you owned a 1949 Classic Car !
Be well, Take care of yourself, Cheers G.

Hi there guys the car came red and blacked out lm on a pensioner and can’t afford to get the chromeing done the black it’s that rippell paint it a shame but the car is on gumtree for sale at the moment due to health reasons it has to go I em not happy about it I have done a lot of work and time had it for 5 years and injured every moment thanks fellas
Yes I agree Blinkie1 The 'flutes' grooves on the bonnet are so significant to Vauxhall, maybe those parts weren't on the car or not in good condition.
I like Chrome bumpers too, but she sure stands out with the red paint !
I always thought the Velox and Wyvern of that era only came in Green or some drab boring colour,
but the bright red paint job on this old girl looks great, gives it a whole new lease on life !

Certainly does just a pity the chrome on the bonnet and bumpers was not rechromed, just my opinion though.
