The VAUXHALL VICTOR F-Type, FB, FC 101, FD & FE (inc VX4/90) | UK market cars

The 1950s Vauxhall Victor F-Type through to the FE Victor of the 1970s, including the tuned-up VX4/90 variants, are the subject for this image compilation.
Photos from the 1950s through to the current day all feature, most of which were taken here in the UK (hence the majority of cars featured are UK-spec cars) with a couple taken years ago further afield.
The Vauxhall Victor F-Type of the 1950s drew inspiration in its styling from American cars of the era, with its lashings of chrome, tail fins, and wraparound screens fore and aft. As time went on, the styling became slightly more restrained, echoing Ford's development of their rival Cortina range as the Mk1 made way for the Mk2 etc etc. The F-Type Victor underwent a number of revisions during its lifetime before being replaced by the more understated, quite handsome, FB series. This later gave way to the FC (or 101 as it was usually referred to), then the FD, and finally the FE - designed with the 1970s motorist in mind. The VX4/90 offered increased power and performance to the press-on motorist with unique-to-the-model styling tweaks to differentiate these more sprightly versions from their Victor cousins. The upmarket Ventora also makes an appearance in this compilation, as do estate versions. Late examples of the FE were re-badged as the VX and a number of these classic cars from the 1970s will also be found.
Export markets had their own versions of the Vauxhall Victor range, such as the Envoy, but this upload concentrates on the home market cars.
I hope this compilation of classic Victors proves to be of interest, if you're a fan - perhaps as a former owner of a Vauxhall Victor - please pop a note in the comments and tell us more.
Victors turn up from time to time at the classic car shows that we visit but they don't seem as commonplace as rivals from BMC and Ford.
