Vauxhall is a British vehicle marque historically closely tied to Bedford's commercial vehicles, and it offered lorries under its own name in some markets. The TL 750 recorded here from 1982 belongs to these commercial vehicles sold under the Vauxhall name.

The TL 750 is driven by a six-cylinder engine of 8,084 cc displacement. At a length of 7,750 mm and a width of 2,370 mm, the vehicle rides on four wheels and a wheelbase of 3,830 mm; kerb weight is 4,440 kg.
At a gross vehicle weight of 7,490 kg the TL 750 falls into EU class N2 between 3.5 and 12 t. Kerb weight and gross weight differ by 3,050 kg of payload margin, a good two-thirds of the kerb weight again as cargo, which was common for a distribution vehicle of that era. The large six-cylinder engine of over 8 litres on four wheels with a short wheelbase of 3,830 mm suits a nimble yet strongly powered chassis.
Buying such an old British lorry second-hand, the frame should be checked thoroughly for corrosion damage, since vehicles of this era were built without modern corrosion protection. The six-cylinder engine calls for a check of compression and the cooling system, and the brakes should be checked for the condition of the brake servo, since these systems were executed differently across vehicles of the early 1980s and parts are no longer easy to source.
