1950 VAUXHALL VELOX SALOON
The Vauxhall Velox is designed to give luxury motoring qualities for a reasonable outlay. The initial price, by present standards, is moderate and its sound performance is matched by economical operating costs.
Like the Wyvern, the Velox is a full four-seater saloon and is very well equipped in the modern style, but has a six-cylinder engine.
In addition to the colour schemes listed for the Wyvern, the Velox is supplied in metallichrome fawn with bronze leather upholstery and in black with red leather. All Velox wheels are finished in cream, but Wyvern wheels are in the same colour as the body.
