Vauxhall – Redex 23

Vehicle
The Reliability Trial

Imagine driving a standard sedan over unsealed roads, in a race where you had to carry extra fuel and water. The Redex Around Australia Car Trial travelled around Australia three times, through different routes. It passed through Balladonia in 1954 and 1955. A Vauxhall Six is peeking out of the wall in the museum, as if it has crashed through during a race. Only three Vauxhall cars competed in the races. None of them finished in the top twenty.
