But it has no chrome over above the number plate, is it the same trim level? |

That's a very good question ... quite honestly I don't know  |

According to the comments here /vehicle_98483-Vauxhall-Victor-F-1958.html about the chrome door glass trim rather than a bright drip-rail with painted glass frames this was used from 1957 to mid 1958, so definitely series 1. I have not found a rear view of an early [F] Victor but other details do appear to confirm its a series 1. The rear boot panel looks also to have the shaped indentation around the number plate as series 1, for series 2 it was a simple straight crease above the number plate. The chrome trim over the number plate was only a 'Vauxhall' nameplate and not a light housing, therefore the separate script (Vauxhall or Victor?) on the left makes me think this is probably was changed within the first year of series 1 production. -- Last edit: 2008-04-28 12:34:20 |

Pictures of a series 1 Victor [F] with the same rear trim details....![[Image: 19571961vauxhallvictor2ek1.4909.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is91/19571961vauxhallvictor2ek1.4909.jpg) ![[Image: 19571961vauxhallvictor3pb8.9932.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is91/19571961vauxhallvictor3pb8.9932.jpg) source: autoHowStuffWorks.com pictures are of a LHD car but there is nothing to suggest the UK RHD version would differ. |

The chrome strip on the rear above the number plate was i think introduced in 58 as a sort of handle to lift up the boot lid, that was its purpose, on the 57 you had to use the key to lift the boot lid. |

I have 2 of these cars an early 57 and a 58 registered in june 58, the 58 does not have the boot chrome handle,either they came on after june or mine does not have one for some other reason, but i cant think what? |

Chrome over number plate might have separated Standard and Super versions (so not a dating feature)??? |
