Vauxhall A-Type

The Vauxhall A-type, was a four-cylinder medium-sized car manufactured by Vauxhall from 1908 to 1914. It was the first production Vauxhall designed by Laurence Pomeroy. Production was mostly the 3-litre version, producing either 38 bhp in the earlier models, or 60 bhp later, but both identified as "20hp" for the tax horsepower rating. There were also a small number with 3.5 litre engines. It became a highly acclaimed 3 litre of its day and at Brooklands on 26 October 1910 it became the first 20 hp car to exceed 100 mph (160 km/h).
