WELCOME TO THE VAUXHALL 30-98 REGISTER
2025 Updates
The My 30-98 History page has been updated, and now includes the history of E364, as researched by the current owner, Nick Coates. Thanks Nick! 2024 Updates If you've not been here for a while, there is new content to read here: News & Events December 2024 Updates Plus.......two new pages: 'Lost' 30-98s & 30-98 Register at Luton 1964 The old 30-98 Register Newsletters contain some excellent articles, and there is Newsletter Archive in the Owners pages.
This has also been added to the previous Plowman Monthléry record article here: Record Breakers. In the Owners' section, there are several ownership updates, and the 'For Sale' page has some interesting cars for non owners, including OE118 (UK) & OE184 (Spain). And finally, new E and D type blocks are now available to order from Marsh Brothers Engineering Services Ltd. Details here: Parts |

This message from the Registrar will accompany the new 2025 Register (subject to Christmas postal delays and overseas posting times)
Please find enclosed your copy of the 2025 Register of 30-98 Vauxhalls and their Variants.
We rely on you all to keep us informed of their whereabouts, when they change hands and the alterations that take place to the cars. Thanks to past Registrars, it is a comprehensive list with an amazing level of detail and we are working on further updates to include the originality of bodywork and more accurate production dates.
We have done our best to make sure the details are correct, but welcome corrections, which should be emailed to [email protected]. You will see that we have included photos of the cars for the first time but are still missing a few. If your car does not carry a photo, or you wish to update the image we hold, please email a high res image to [email protected].
In other news, we are shortly to receive a fresh batch of 30-98 Polo shirts. These will be available to order online and we have chosen the same brand of shirt that the Register has used previously - they have stood the test of time well. We will be emailing details very shortly.
There are several events planned for 2025, news of which should be available shortly after Christmas and of course, we plan to put on the usual excellent show at Prescott next year.
I look forward to hearing from you with comments and updates on the latest format and hope that you find it both useful and interesting reading.
Best wishes
