Vauxhall excelled in bright vibrant colour schemes and our fourth release on the Firenza Sport SL, manufactured between 1971 and 1975, is no exception. In bright yellow with black roof and copper brown interior, our 1:43 scale model is registered KXE 282K from the first year of production - 1971/2.
The Firenza was the successor to the Viva but the new shape with sloping back, 2-door coupé format, front mounted 4-cylinder engine and performance to boot, made it an instant hit. The Sport SL version came with a unique 7-dial instrument panel on the dashboard and maximum exterior silver trim, all faithfully reproduced on our model, right down to the Firenza ‘signature’ printed in silver behind the front wheel arch and the 2300cc engine capacity featured on the radiator grille.
Vauxhall had many successes with the Firenza Sports SL on the racetrack too, so there is scope for further exciting Oxford liveries!
