Vauxhall 14/6 (1936) moves for the first time in a year

Recently we were approached by Mr G Wade to help him with his 1936 Vauxhall 14/6.

Having begun a full restoration of the car Mr Wade had found it impossible to find a replacement starter motor. As a result the car had stood still for over a year whilst he tried in vain to find a starter motor that would fit his car.

We were delighted to help Mr Wade and developed a high torque unit from one of our Denso gear reduction models.  A special mounting plate and pinion were fitted and care was taken to ensure the correct throw and engagement was achieved.

Custome made Fosseway Performance high torque starter in place on Vauxhall 14/6

The end result is a car that starts with ease and we were even present to witness the 1936 Vauxhall move under its own power for the first time in over a year. In fact we went for a ride in it through the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside near Mr Wades farm – Thank you.
