Who is Vauxhall owned by? Vauxhall is owned by a private equity firm called CVC Capital Partners Limited. James Gennaro is the Chairman and Managing Partner of CVC. Others involved in the Vauxhall company include David Templeton, managing director and vice president of CVC. Michael Austin, CFO, and Richard Clements, managing director, all hold seats on the Vauxhall board of directors.


So, who is Vauxhall made by? The name Vauxhall was selected after an artist and illustrator named Samuel Simon, who created the original Vauxhall drawing. According to some sources, the first Vauxhall car was designed by John Pilsworth. He may have been the person who came up with the idea of selling car engines in a can, as opposed to the engine in an automobile. The company was later known as Vauxhall Motors Ltd. The company manufactured and marketed RAC Type and Grand Marquis automobiles.

Although many disagree on the history of Vauxhall, some say that it was a small company that began in a garage near Shepherd's Bush, Greater London in the UK. The company was run by John Pilsworth who may not have designed the layout for the cars that are still seen today. Some sources also say that Richard Clements took over the company from John Pilsworth. Either way, Vauxhall Motors was sold to a man by the name of John Lawrence Price in the United Kingdom.

Vauxhall Motors is the brand of choice for many car owners and mechanics alike. Vauxhall makes several different types of motors such as diesel motors and gasoline motors, and they have a couple of models in their stable. For someone looking for something smaller than a Mercedes Benz, or a Honda Civic, Vauxhall Motors has a mid-sized car that is reasonably priced.

For those who own more powerful cars, Vauxhall Motors still has a couple of powerful motors to offer. They offer four and two-stroke motors and four-stroke and two-stroke diesel. Because of the variety of Vauxhall motors, the company manufactures different types of engines for every make and model of the car. Many car enthusiasts choose Vauxhall because of its wide range of motors, and great customer service.
