Vauxhall A-Type

Automobiles

The Vauxhall A-type was a four-cylinder medium-sized car built by Vauxhall from 1908 to 1914 and the first production Vauxhall designed by Laurence Pomeroy. Most were the 3-litre version, producing 38 bhp in early cars or 60 bhp later, all rated as 20 hp for tax, with a few 3.5 litre cars rated 22 hp. It grew out of the Y1 prototype, a development of the 12-16 that won class E of the 1908 RAC and Scottish Reliability Trial, and on 26 October 1910 at Brooklands it became the first 20 hp car to exceed 100 mph. Four versions, the A09, A11, A12 and 16-20, were made between 27 October 1908 and 1914, with a side-valve monobloc engine with forced lubrication.
