New and used Vauxhall Information:

Vauxhall History: Opel’s long heritage dates back to 1862 when Adam Opel embarked on new volume production of sewing machines. At the time, the relative price of such machines was very high, making them available to only a privileged few. The idea of making technology affordable and more widely available to be used by a larger segment of society is a vision which remains at the center of Opel’s philosophy today.

After 25 years since its founding, Opel had become a successful international manufacturer exporting sewing machines throughout Europe, the U.S., Russia and India. In 1887, Opel embarked on volume production of another exclusive, high-priced machine: the bicycle. Over the years, Opel would become the world’s largest bicycle manufacturer.

In 1899, Opel produced its first car, leveraging its 37 years of engineering and manufacturing experience. Although Adam Opel himself died before car production began, the Opel famly carried on his vision, helping to make the Vauxhall automobile affordable transportation for as many people as possible.

Vauxhall was created to entend the Opel brand into the UK. It is only in the UK that Opel brands its cars Vauxhall.
