FactThe 1929 T-Type update bored the engine out by just 2mm, yet that was enough to add 465cc of swept volume and a 25 percent jump in power.
For 1929 the 20-60's engine bore was increased from 73 to 75 mm for a 2,916 cc (2.9-litre) T-type six with aluminium pistons, larger crankshaft bearings and a redesigned head, intake manifold, camshaft and silencer, for a 25 percent increase in power (54 bhp at 3,000 rpm, tax rating 20.93 hp), with improved acceleration, flexibility, brakes, chassis and springs. Vauxhall now produced just this one model, the luxurious sleeve-valve 25-70 and the 30-98 having been dropped; the car had a taller, narrower radiator (2 inches higher), a more slender body with wider front wings, larger nickel headlamps, a repositioned handbrake and a central flexible change-speed lever. The 20-60 was given a 3.3-litre engine in October 1930 and renamed the 80 (later Silent Eighty), staying in production until the Big Six of 1934.

Vauxhall sold this as a milestone bargain: "The first time any six-cylinder Vauxhall has been sold under £1000!"
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
