Re: Viscount Caravans.
And a PA Vauxhall for a tow car, what more could you want?!
No doubt everyone has heard the bad news about Vauxhall, GM just sold it to Peugeot!

Re: Viscount Caravans.
hi george and reddo
when they took over vauxhall they also took over opal, so that means our post holden holdens will probably end up actually being peugeots.
keeping in mind that mahindra own 51% of peugeot motorcycles, holden might even end up being "glorified" mehindras in the future.
scary, isn't it.

The Poms must be beside themselves. Since Vauxhall was taken over in 1925 by GM they have never got a mention on the sales brochures, and now the Frogs. I didn't do much history at school but when I was England I found the Scots hate the Brits, as do the Cornish the Welsh and the Irish. The only thing that appeared to make it the United Kingdom was they ALL hated the French!
Just as well I will only ever own a GM Vauxhall. Mahindra in the pie too, I'm more depressed by the minute.
Sorry to digress from the lovely Viscount thread.
