The G 25hp was the first Vauxhall to use the TT Dubonnet front suspension developed by GM suspension engineer Maurice Olley. The 25hp was publically launched at the London Motor Show and was available in two different wheelbases, GY 9ft 3ins & GL 10ft 10ins. Power came from the well proven 3215cc 6 cylinder engine used in the previous model, and was also extensively used in the Bedford commercial range. The short wheelbase version could achieve nearly 80mph so it was lucky that Vauxhall made their return to using hydraulic brakes which used a split system making it quite advanced for its day. The early versions used a 4 speed gearbox and from 1938 onwards a 3 speed, both boxes came with synchromesh on the top 2 ratios.
