Manufacturer description

This classic saloon car represents the vehicle introduced by Vauxhall in 1961 and produced up to 1964. It featured a standard three-gear column change with the option to upgrade to a floor mounted 4 speed synchromesh gearbox. Initially, an increased engine capacity of 1508 cc gave it a power output of 49.5 bhp and in 1963, the engine was enlarged to 1594 cc. The FB saloon was available with four doors or as a five-door Estate version. The interior had a standard bench front seat, although if you bought the Super Victor, you had the option of individual seats. Other options - believe it or not - included a heater, fog lamps, a radio, screen washers, reversing lights and seat belts - all things we take for granted in today's motoring world. 328,640 FBs were built.
