Peter Blake (born 1932) - '110 Years Of Vauxhall' signed, numbered, framed print with

Provenenace. Purchased from Peter Blake at the Art Car Boot Fair 2013

Signed, Low Numbered 34 of 110.

Peter Blakes work is collected by many and comes in a variety of mediums from collage to print to screenprints. 

110 years with 110 limited editions. Peter produced this for the Vauxhall/Brick Lane London Car Boot Fair in 2013 in celebration of Vauxhall being one of the oldest established vehicle manufacturers and distribution companies in the United Kingdom. 

Vauxhall was founded by Alexander Wilson in 1857 as a pump and marine engine manufacturer. It was purchased by Andrew Betts Brown in 1863, who began producing travelling cranes under the company, renaming it "Vauxhall Iron Works". The company began manufacturing cars in 1903, and changed its name back around this time. It was acquired by American automaker General Motors (GM) in 1925. Bedford Vehicles was established as a subsidiary of Vauxhall in 1930 to manufacture commercial vehicles.

It was a luxury car brand until it was bought by General Motors, who thereafter built mid-market offerings. From the time of the Great Depression Vauxhall became increasingly mass-market. Since 1980, Vauxhall products have been largely identical to those of Opel, and most models are principally engineered in Rüsselsheim am Main, Germany. During the early 1980s, the Vauxhall brand was withdrawn from sale in all countries apart from the UK. At various times during its history, Vauxhall has been active in motorsports, including rallying and the British Touring Car Championship. After 92 years under GM's ownership, Opel/Vauxhall was sold to Groupe PSA in 2017.
