History

Vauxhall Motors was founded in 1857 in Vauxhall, London, England, as a pump and marine engine manufacturer. It was bought by General Motors (GM) in 1925 and became part of the American car giant. Vauxhall has been producing cars since 1903, and has been a subsidiary of GM since 1925. The company has a rich history, with notable cars such as the Viva, the Chevette, and the Cavalier. The company has also been involved in motor racing, rallying, and other motorsport. Vauxhall is now the second largest car manufacturer in the United Kingdom, behind only Ford.
