Vauxhall VX2300 GLS - 1970s Classic Car Road Test Nearly Ends in Trouble

A 1970s British classic, a sunny day, and the open road - what could possibly go wrong?... I met up with classic Vauxhall car enthusiast, Jack, and took the wheel of his 1978 Vauxhall VX2300 GLS, a true British classic from the golden age of family saloons - but the road test didn't quite go to plan. The VX2300 was a high-spec 2.3-liter version of the later VX Series, positioned as a luxurious and high-end model within the range. With its distinctive four-headlamp front end, vinyl roof and luxury options, the VX2300 became a favourite for drivers who wanted something a little classier than the average family car. In this video, I put this 70s icon to the test on real roads. We expected a smooth, nostalgic drive... but things took an unexpected turn.
