Lateef ◊ 2023-07-24 23:56	Quickest way I can think of is the badging - Cresta has the nameplate on the rear wing underneath the panoramic rear window, while Velox has the badge on the front wing, between the front clip and the wheelarch.

It's a fluid situation because Vauxhall changed details every year, so Veloxes often got added bling which had previously only been Cresta, and thrown up in the air when things get modern restos/repaints (most Crestas were 2-tone, Veloxes momotone). But this one has simple Velox hubcaps, not shiny Cresta trims, and doesn't have Cresta wing badges.
