- Rare Vauxhall GY 25 Saloon
- Only 21 known in the UK
- Extensive history
- Featured in multiple film productions

The Vauxhall GY 25 is a historic Vauxhall model that was produced between 1937 and 1940. Approximately 6, 800 were built during that time period, with the 1939/ 40 models being used as ambulances and staff cars in the RAF during WWII. From new, the GY 25 Saloon was 210 which then increased to 345 in 1939. The GY Saloon is now particularly rare, with only 21 models known to exist in the UK and 48 worldwide (and only 31 of the GL limousine version). The car is powered by a 25hp 3215cc straight-six engine which is derived from a Chevrolet unit (which was shared with Vauxhall after it was acquired by GM in 1929). This car was first registered in August 1937, and believed to be purchased by the then Archbishop of Canterbury Cosmo Gordon Lang (who was instrumental in the abdication of King Edward VIII). The car has also been used in a number of films, including Lassiter, Magnum, Empire Of The Sun and London Belongs To Me. The car is in an original condition and has only had one owner over the last 30 years with bill of sale included in the history file.

This car is to be auctioned at MPH, Bicester Heritage, Buckingham Road, Bicester.
