Origin of LHD Vauxhall
Alexander Wilson started the company in 1857 in Vauxhall, London. Vauxhall Iron Works was initially called Alex Wilson and Company, and it made pumps and marine engines. Company engineers built the company's first car in 1903, a five-horsepower model with a tiller steering, no reverse gear, and two forward gears. These improvements led to better designs available for purchase.
In 1905, the company moved its manufacturing to Luton to expand. Vauxhall Motors was renamed Vauxhall Motor Works in 1907 when that name was dropped. Before the First World War, the company was known for its sporting models, but afterward, it designed more austere models.
Fulk le Breant, a mercenary who served King John in the thirteenth century, is credited with granting the Manor of Luton to Fulk le Breant, who also designed the griffin emblem, which is still used today. In addition, he got the rights to some land near London, south of the Thames. He built a house called Fulk's Hall that became Vauxhall. This emblem was adopted by Vauxhall Iron Works to emphasize its local links. Interestingly, the griffin emblem returned to its ancestral home when Vauxhall Iron Works moved to Luton in 1905.
