All cars in the collection kept roadworthy and in pristine condition by Vauxhall’s two full-time restorers! Making their debut this year are two recent additions to the collection – the Royale and the Astra GSI, Mk4. The open day will run from 10:00am to 4:00pm and the venue is located along Park Street in Luton, postcode for sat navs – LU1 3HG.
