The Vauxhall 14 is an automobile which was produced by Vauxhall in the United Kingdom from 1922 to 1927.[2]

As well as United Kingdom manufacture, knock down kits were assembled in Australia.[2]

Model M

First shown at the 1921 London Motor Show, the car reached the public in 1922.

The new car, designed by Clarence King, had a four-cylinder 2297cc side valve, engine mounted in-unit with a three-speed transmission. The separate chassis had semi-elliptic leaf springs at the front and cantilever springs at the rear. Brakes acted on the rear wheels only with a separate pair of shoes for the handbrake. Disc type wheels were fitted.

The car was said to be capable of reaching nearly 60mph and return 28 miles per gallon.

Body styles

  • 2 door Melton tourer
  • 4 door Princeton tourer
  • Bedford, Norfolk and Wyndham saloons
  • Kimberley limousine
  • Wyvern landaulette
  • Grafton coupe

Approximately 1800 cars were produced. [2]

Model LM

In 1924 the LM version appeared with a higher compression engine developing 40bhp and four-speed transmission. Wire spoked wheels replaced the disc ones. Front-wheel brakes were added in 1926.

In 1924 the 14-40 with Princeton tourer body cost GBP595.

Approximately 3500 cars were produced. [2]
