Good site! My Dad had a 1972 Cresta PC 3.3 automatic. It was a monster and I wondored if it is still ou there? The registration was RCW343K and it was green.
Just dropped in here because I had a PA Cresta (TT Blue) waaaay back in the early 70s.
Thing is I recall there were PABXs and PABYs (mine the former). I see no mention of these codes on t'internet. Am I imagining this?
BTW I paid 15GBP for it and it ended at a scrappers unfortunately, but I do still use its rear-view mirror when underneath my Omega B!
Hi all,

I am looking for a righthand rear axle halfshaft,or complete axle.Can anyone help ?
Please call 01622 862058 (eves)or 07900 262699 and I will call you back.

Good to see my old PA XDL474 on the site pictures at Billing 09. I owned the car from 87-circa 94. It came from the isle of Wite originally, I bought it from a Ted in Stoke and it lived with me in the West Midlands before going South to Statford. Bought for a few hundred pounds and sold for the same. I ran it as my everyday car although it looks much better than when i had it. Too young and too skint to appreciate it, I managed to scrape it from one MOT to the next but eventually had to let it go. I had lived the dream and loved it.
Best regards Phil

It also has a factory fitted camping body.Diff ratio is 3.08.Iam having difficulty finding photos and specifications plus history for this model vehicle.

I'm looking for a PB Cresta for a racing project - don't want any running gear , glass or interior , so if anybody knows of any cars that are destined for the scrap heap , let me know and i'll save it and give it a good home - so it can take on the Cortina's ! I only need a shell , doesn't matter if the floor's gone but will need all panels ( ie , boot lid bonnet and doors )I don't want to take a car off the road for this , but would like to save one . Like the website . Regards Al
I came across your wonderful website whilst searching veteran vauxhalls. Most excellent to see a two-tone yellow and white Cresta. My Grandfather had one just the same back between c1968-1972 (YSG 5) , I would love to own that plate now.
Hi, I have a few gaskets that I'm selling although I dont know which model they are for. The part numbers are as follows: Z7028, Z7033, Z7034, & Z7035. Any ideas, & would anyone like one? Ta Rob.
Hi there is a 1953 Vauxhall Wyvern on ebay that is going to be scrapped if its not sold. Looks like there are still some usable parts. Its item number 290317516030 and its in Pontyberem, Camarthenshire. The auction has about 2 days left to run.(I would have it myself but I have not got the space for another restoration project!)
Hello, Cleaning out my late father-in-laws

The Part No. on the box label is: 7139749, I have no idea of its value, but it is up for sale if anyone is interested, if so please contact me at the above email address...
Good website, hope to be purchasing a PC Cresta in the near future, will join the club then.
Nigel.
