Vauxhall Velox 1957
Specifications
Description
The Vauxhall Velox – a very smart and interesting car indeed – one that lives on and continues to be desirable well beyond its life expectancy.
The Velox is a medium-sized six cylinder saloon.It was one of the first range of popular cars that came in metallic paint and two tone colour interior. The Vauxhall Velox at the time was a futuristic style statement – a car designed for major world markets, for the quite well off and whatever the neighbours thought, with sales over 350000 over a 5 year production run, the Velox was best remembered for having mirrored North American styling trends much more closely than other European models of the time.
The car we present here is an absolute SHOW CAR. It is arguably THE BEST EXAMPLE IN EXISTENCE.
Body, Paint, Interior, boot, engine bay, undercarriage – this car is PERFECT – there can be no better way to describe it and the detailing on this car is unbelievable. An absolute credit to its previous fastidious owner, who even went to the trouble of labeling all dash controls, and went to the extreme of making a note for drivers to be gentle with the gearshift due to the "crash" low gear...etc before sending the car to us.
It is an early 1957 Velox and therefore has the non synchro 1st gear and the early engine like the 52 to 56 models. It was only a very few late 57 models in NZ that were equiped with the all synchro box and engine of the first PA series.
Various receipts and history available. Factory tools, hydraulic jack, operating manual all come with car.

Car drives and feels LIKE NEW. There is no imperfections of any sort.
PRICE FIRM. Will be sold with a 6 month WOF and 12 month Registration.

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.
