OE228 was completed in Velox body - open touring form and delivered to a Mr Charles Roxburgh in 1925 and registered KS 3083. This original bodied 30/98 spent some forty years in the ownership of Colonel Christopher Cardew of the Royal Engineers who drove the car considerably whilst on active service in India (as evidenced with Terrier at about 7000ft near Murree, India).

Having covered some five hundred miles since a complete engine rebuild, this 30/98 has been in family ownership for the past thirty years.

 

In the words of celebrated motoring historian Denis Jenkinson; "If you haven't cruised across Salisbury Plain in the early morning at a restful 85 mph in a 30/98 Vauxhall, you haven't experienced pure vintage motoring".
