Vauxhall unveiled its new Vectra range of large hatchbacks and saloons to replace the long-lived Cavalier in Britain. The Vauxhall badged Vectra B was the last Vauxhall to be produced at the company’s Luton plant, where the end of automobile production was announced in December 2000, taking effect just over a year later. In March 2002, the plant closed down.
