Pre-war Vauxhalls may impress classic car buyers

Classic vehicle enthusiasts may like to make their way to Shelsey Walsh - possibly the oldest hill-climb track in the world - this weekend as a collection of Prince Henrys are to take centre stage.

All but three of these pre-WWI cars are to be on display at the largest gathering of early Vauxhalls in living memory, an event set up to honour the centenary of the 1910 Prince Henry Trial, which spanned 1,250 miles.

Director of Brooklands Museum in Surrey Allan Winn - who is to make a presentation to Vauxhall classic car insurance holders - said: "The Prince Henry remains Britain’s first proper sports car ... This weekend will be a unique opportunity to see these wonderful cars together in one location."

Earlier this month, a Prince Henry was seen at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, joined by the GTS and the first prototype of the Ampera electric model.
