The 1964 to 1967 FC Victor was marketed as the Victor 101, the name arising from the claim that there were '101 improvements' over the FB model. Bench or separate front seating was offered, with three-speed column-change gearbox or the optional four-speed floor change. A 'Powerglide' two-speed automatic transmission was also available. An optional radio was incorporated into the bright-metal dashboard trim, an innovative styling cue, as was the incorporation of the side and indicator lamps in the front bumper. The sculpted bumpers were, for the first time in the UK, blended with the body styling. The overall look of the car was unique in GM, with its slab sides outlined with brightwork seam covers incorporating the door handles. The FC 101 was the last Victor to have a push rod engine.

First registered on 16th March 1966, this Vauxhall Victor Deluxe is a rare survivor and is of an era of American styled aspirational ‘60s saloons with 3-on-the-tree and Stateside design influences. The car started well and ran nice and quiet on the visit, the vendor being an ex-mechanic, he has done his own servicing and the very recent repairs on the car. This includes replacing the brake shoes, an oil and filter service and some welding and anti-rust treatment, although there’s servicing recorded on file back in 2013 at 36,253 miles with previous ownership. The carpets look to have been replaced in 2006 by 'Coverdale (UK) LTD' at a cost of £181. The oldest MOT on file is from 1989 at 30,742 miles, the next recorded MOT is in 2002 at 30,799 miles, which could suggest it was laid up for a period of 10 or more years. Supplied with a V5C, there’s also the original green logbook and a collection of old MOTs, an original owner’s handbook, two original sales brochures, 5 workshop training manuals, some old 'Vauxhall Victor Owners Club' magazines.
