Vauxhall SRV
Encyclopedia : V : VA : VAU : Vauxhall SRV
The Vauxhall SRV (Styling Research Vehicle) was a 1970 concept vehicle designed by Wayne Cherry for Vauxhall Motors in the UK. Never intended for production, the car was an attempt to raise Vauxhall's profile and image, while providing a platform for researching some unusual design concepts.
The car was inspired by the short-nosed, long-tailed Le Mans racers of the time, but was able to seat four adults in comfort, despite being just 41 inches high. Unusually, the design featured fixed front seats, but with all of the driver controls adjustable for position, angle and reach. The car also featured four doors, with the rear doors being handle-less and largely disguised - this feature is only now being incorporated into real production cars over thirty years later.
