It's impossible to think of Luton without Vauxhall - or Britain without the Cavalier
It's impossible to think of Luton without Vauxhall - or Britain without the CavalierWhile nothing is entirely set in concrete just yet, the very fact that Stellantis has what sounds like a concrete proposal for a future without its Luton factory is clearly upsetting for all involved.
So let’s hope there’s a future for Luton yet. We know the ZEV mandate is currently being reassessed in the face of mounting criticism, and political about-faces have become remarkably commonplace in recent years. But until it is, there’s nothing like the comfy retreat of the old days to bring a bit of fleeting happiness.
The Cavalier lives on as one of the best Luton-built Vauxhalls; apparently there was never a strike at the factory in the seven years of Mk3 production from 1988 to 1995, so that’s something. With the production of every era taking place there, it’s hard not to hark back to that time when everybody had a traditional family car, it was a Ford or a Vauxhall , and you knew if Dad had made it if the car had a sunroof.
