Hi Dave... can you enlighten me? What's a 54 Vaggabond Vauxhall look like mate? you must have the odd pix. My old man had a 55 Velox, followed by a (?) 61 Cresta. My first car was a 47 Wyvern convertible... (with incredible pick up !!!)

Sorry what was that about ya bike wheels???

Hi Gavin
I cant seem to be able to put pictures up. I will try to put on a photo or two. Basicly its a 1953 velox similar to your dads 55 only the Vagabond is a two door convertable. Convertables and Pick ups (Ute's)were only built for the in Austrailian market.
So tell me have you any brake plates or anything else for my 50 plunger project.
Regards Dave

Sorry mate we both lucked out... I don't get pix, you don't get parts... if I had them I'd gladly help out.

from the following link I gather the vagabonds are rare in the UK. ??
