Ah poor Reg! I've upset him now...tell you what I'll do. The fact that Alex has posted a picture of a 'HC' coupe in action, constitutes to another forum member showing interest in more information on old Vauxhall cars. I will now create a new thread just for these in 'The Lounge'.
Some of you may have seen the proposed catalogue number for the 1/43rd Vauxhall Firenza from Oxford in the previous links. It is shown as...VF001, but going by Oxford's usual numbering system, it should be...43VF001, the '43' denoting the model as part of the 1/43rd scale range and I have now seen it on a pre-order price of £19 in the UK.

I'd never noticed the subtle change made to the front wings before. I wouldn't complain if Oxford made a Magnum with the same casting. I hope that they also make the basic Firenza with rectangular headlights. Not to be mixed up with the South African 302 V8 Firenza which also had those rectangular headlights.
Heres a clip of the Chev Firenza Can-Am 302-V8 made in South Africa by Bazil Van Rooyen.
The English boys had them taken to the Uk and worshipped these models
