Vauxhall Adam art cars

Vauxhall has taken a leaf out of BMW’s book by commissioning artists to use its new Adam as a blank canvas.

Fred Butler, Louise Gray and James Small unleashed their talents on three of the city cars, which are currently on display outside the Freemasons’ Hall in London, venue for the Vauxhall Fashion Scout event.

Each is very individual and, while the end results were never intended to end up as production models, the camouflage-meets-paisley wrap created by James Small could make for an interesting future special edition.

The Vauxhall / Opel Adam makes its motor show debut in Paris at the end of this month. UK sales are due to begin in early 2013.

Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle.
