cresta1957 ◊ 2007-12-29 11:28	This is not a Velox. This is a Vauxhall Wyvern L of 1950/51. Wyvern because of body-coloured wheels (Velox had creme-coloured) and missing overriders on front bumper. 1950/51 because of bigger headlamps and indicators. So to 100%: Vauxhall Wyvern L of 1950/51.

JSJ plate is a modern re-reg issue, GCO was Plymouth Dec 50 to June 51, so its original plate is unknown.
