This Vauxhall 12hp ASY, 6 cylinder "D back" saloon I acquired back in 1992/3, when I swapped my old bullnose SAAB 95 van for it. The ASY was the replacement for the slightly earlier Cadet model in Vauxhall's range back in the early 1930s, prior to the DX. A period photograph of a 12hp ASX can be seen here.

I knew it'd need a lot of work, but as usual all thoughts regarding the work involved quickly disappeared when the prospect of having my own post-vintage saloon, no matter how decrepit, presented itself to me. This one I stored at Fred & Barbs over in Ashley in Cheshire, near Manchester Airport, along with my E83W pickup. They had a classic J Type Morris van, and a pair of early Singer 9s to keep my old motor-car in good company. |

Not much happened with the ASY Vauxhall in the end .. I tinkered with it, and accumulated some spares, but in the end it was sold off to further another project or two, although which in particular I don't remember - probably the blue Triumph Spitfire 2.5 which I was resurrecting at the time.
