It's not all bad news, then? I hear that GM (ailing, as ever ... but now apparently worse than ever) is planning to ditch Vauxhall.

Good! Now perhaps this once fine old English company (founded in 1857 in Vauxhall, "south of the river" in London, and which built its first car in 1903, before being bought out by GM in 1925) can return to English ownership, and (who knows) even prosper! If it can't do that, then let it go down the pan, like all the rest!

Vauxhall "time line" .pdf (but no mention of the Bedford Rascal van)!

If you don't inspect ... don't expect.
