Specifications
Description
Vauxhall Motors is a British automotive company founded in 1857, which began manufacturing cars in 1903 and was acquired by GM in 1925.
Towards the end of 1934, Vauxhall's famous Light Six range, the ASY and ASX Series, were phased out to be replaced by a new and far more modern looking range, the DX and DY Types (DY being the Twelve-Six and DX being the Fourteen-Six variant).
With the introduction of these new models came independent front suspension for the first time on a popular priced British car. This was another Vauxhall ‘first', for the Cadet range of 1931 – 1933 had been the first British car to be equipped with a synchromesh gearbox. The new 'D' Series was largely responsible for Vauxhall's sales record of over 25000 units in 1935 and priced at GBP225.00, the DX represented extremely good value with six cylinder power.
This now rare Pre-War 1938 Vauxhall 14/6 DX Series is Chassis #: 730022. It is in VERY GOOD CONDITION especially when considering it is 74 years old.
Rarely driven and always garaged, body is straight, rust free and comes with VERY GOOD paint.
Leather Interior ORIGINAL and in well preserved condition. New Carpet and new hood lining.
VERY GOOD Mechanically and EXCELLENT 6 cylinder motor, which cruises beautifully at 50 miles per hour.
Good rubber. Good Battery. Good Tires.
Very few good condition survivors of this pre-war model left.
An appreciating collectable vehicle forming part of New Zealand's automotive history.

NOTIFICATION AS TO NATURE OF GOODS IN TERMS OF THE CONSUMER GUARANTEES ACT 1993
Waimak Classic Cars Ltd is a New Zealand registered company and accepts that the vehicle being sold must be of “acceptable quality” in terms of section 7 of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (the Act) having regard to “the nature of the goods”.
Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.
The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.
The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
