Previously the 12 and 14hp models had shared the same body. Interior features included individual leather front seats and a rear seat with fold-down arm rest, a rear window blind and a sliding sunroof. Post-war models can be distinguished by bonnet-louvre and grille changes.[2] 45,499 examples were produced,[4] including 30,511 in the post-war period.[2] Australian production, Vauxhall SeniorA Vauxhall 14 J was built by General Motors in Australia without unitary construction[6] which was beyond the capacity of local presses but sharing much of the English car's styling.[13][7] The separate chassis allowed the Australian firm to provide open and utlity bodies. Commencing in 1939, the 14 was offered in sedan, coupé and roadster body-styles.[8] and as in UK but in a Holden version, a light utility.[9] A 14 sedan was the first civilian car to be produced by GMH in the post-war period, leaving the Fishermans Bend assembly line on 21 May 1946.[8] Notes1. ^Norm Darwin, The History of Holden since 1917, Ford Publications Pty Ltd, 1983, pages 87-89 2. ^1 2 3 Michal Sedgwick & Mark Gillies, Vauxhall J-Fourteen-Six, A-Z of Cars 1945-1970, Haymarket Publishing Ltd, 1994, page 212 3. ^Cars Of 1939, Vauxhall 14 changes.
