Hi Timbo, An interesting question to be asking. My curiosity has got the better of me, so i hit google. I put in , " what does HIY/HIX, and H mean on post war vauxhall cars". And it came up with different pages to look at that explain. The best one was on http://vauxpedianet.uk2sitebuilder.com This has a link to Vauxpedia which has loads of info about it. Might be worth looking at that to help understand the meanings of the afore mentioned lettering. Regards Andy.

A friend mentioned that it could be a date it was quality controlled. But again, why would it have sat about so long before being fitted to the car?? One of those mysteries that will probably never get answered..

It certainly was a relief coming away from the test centre with just 2 advisories. And being able to pick the garage owners brains about different bits and pieces. He is a vauxhall man through and through. And a mind of knowledge. All I've got to do now is sort out the speedo drive, as its playing up again. Apparently it could need a new seal, or it could want completely replacing, or it might just be getting wet and need a bit of protection for the winter.
