A warranty really can last a lifetime for Vauxhall owners

Vauxhall’s Lifetime Warranty has just celebrated one year on the market, with more than 207,000 owners benefitting from the groundbreaking offer since it was launched in August 2010.
 
Lifetime Warranty is unique in the UK and provides first registered keepers of a new Vauxhall with no upper time limit on their warranty, until the car has covered 100,000 miles. No other manufacturer has managed to rival the Vauxhall Lifetime Warranty and offer its potential for complete peace of mind throughout a car’s life.
 
And we do mean the lifetime of a car. So, to celebrate Lifetime Warranty’s first anniversary, Vauxhall is out to find the oldest car in the UK wearing the Griffin badge that’s still road legal, has covered less than 100,000 miles and has been owned by the same person from the date of first registration.
 
All Vauxhall’s qualify, and if the Prince Henry (pictured, next to the British-built Astra Sports Tourer) had not out-survived its original owner it would too, having covered little more than 50,000 miles in the last 100 years.
 
So, if you still own a Victor, Viva, Ventora, or even a Lotus Carlton, and bought it new all those years ago, Vauxhall would like to hear from you.
 
All you need to do to enter your Vauxhall is go to vauxhalldriverscentre.co.uk/oldestcar and fill in the entry form there - advising what model you own, its current mileage, when you bought it new and from what dealer. Entries must be received by October 16, 2011, and subject to verification, the owner of the winning car will receive a half-day performance driving course in the latest 325 horsepower Insignia VXR at Vauxhall’s proving ground in Bedfordshire.
 
“There’s huge loyalty among our owners,” said Duncan Aldred, Vauxhall’s Managing Director. “And for average-mileage customers who plan to keep their new Vauxhalls for the medium to long term, Lifetime Warranty is a valuable and reassuring asset for as long as they own the car. No other manufacturer has been able to offer such complete peace of mind for their customers.”
