Vauxhall Assembly Plant, Trinidad , 1965
Neal and Massey Motors began assembling Vauxhall cars locally in 1959. The plant switched to Datsuns in 1972 when Vauxhalls were no longer imported. The plant closed in 1993, along with the local Toyota plant. This photo shows a Vauxhall Victor FC both fully-erected and as a mass of components. The unskilled local labour meant that the cars assembled in this factory were poorly built, with no rustproofing. These Victors were exceedingly popular as midrange family runabouts in the pre-Japanese cars era.
