1923 Vauxhall Type OD 23-60 Malvern Tourer
Built before General Motors acquired Vauxhall in 1925, the 1923 Type OD 23-60 Malvern Tourer stands as a prime example of British automotive craftsmanship. The vehicle featured a 4.0-liter, four-cylinder engine, updated in mid-1922 with an overhead-valve cylinder head designed by Charles Evelyn King, who succeeded renowned Chief Engineer Laurence Pomeroy.
The 23-60 evolved from the respected D-Type Vauxhall that had served as military staff cars during World War I. Production continued until 1926, with approximately 1,300 units manufactured. Only about 100 examples have survived to the present day, making this a scarce automobile.
The spacious Malvern Tourer coachwork offered room for seven passengers, unusual capacity for vehicles of this period. Popular in British Empire nations, many 23-60 models were exported to Australia, New Zealand, and other Commonwealth countries.
