Manufacturer description

A refreshing pale metallic green paint scheme has been applied to the latest release on Oxford's Vauxhall Wyvern E series, a 1:76 scale replica of the 1950s 4-door saloon which Vauxhall manufactured at their Luton plant. In real life, the car had a top speed of just over 71 mph, a fuel consumption of 30.4 mpg and would have cost you £771 on the road.

Our model faithfully reproduces many of the refinements of the real thing, including the distinctive bonnet side flashes in silver, plus whitewall tyres with silver wheel centres surrounded by the same pale green metallic detail as the body. The signature Vauxhall type radiator grille is also finished in silver. The interior is moulded in ivory with a white steering wheel, copied from the USA perhaps. A final touch sees the Wyvern name printed along the edge of the wings above the front wings.
