Sunbar ◊ 2006-03-30 13:00	Vauxhall VX1800/VX2300 [FE] 1976. This is the later vehicle 100% sure. The first FE (1974) were slightly different. The Victor as DAF555 says had smaller rectangular headlamps and turn signals within a chrome suround. The Ventora had four square headlamps and the turnsignals were under the bumper. The grill also had "cut-in" corners. For 1976 the appearance was cleaned-up and the names dropped in favour of VX1800 and VX2300, with larger headlamps turn signals blended-into the corners as the picture, the grill was without the "cut-in" corners. Two headlamps were used for both models, so its not possible to say if its a VX1800 or VX2300.(The six-cylinder models were also dropped that year) http://www.vauxhallheritage.com/photo.asp?photo=VHC00000241.jpg
