I'd struggle to remember them all, and certainly not their BHP figures. One thing I do think worth a mention is that my first car, a 1974 Hillman Imp with just 39BHP, and my current car a 2005 V70 T5 with 260BHP, both seem to average out at almost exactly 30MPG fuel consumption.
Modern technology is a wonderful thing

Keep the post going lads and lasses, I am seeing some interesting Cars appear on peoples lists, although I think I so far take the record of most Vauxhalls owned. Not sure if that is a record I really want

Can't remember most of them[if I ever knew the bhp figures at all]but
Senator A 2.5 auto 170bhp
Senator A 2.5 manual 170bhp
Senator A 3.0 auto 190bhp
Monza 3.0 auto 190bhp
Senator B 3.0 auto[12v] 190bhp
Senator B 3.0 auto[12v] 190bhp
Omega B 3.0 auto 211bhp
Omega B 3.0 auto 211bhp
V70 2.4[10v]140bhp
Volvo 960 2.9 auto 204bhp
As an aside back in the mid '70s I had a MkIII Zephyr 4[1704 cc I think-could have been 1703cc]and at the time they were talking of rationing fuel so issued a "ration" book[as it turned out rationing didn't happen]still have the book and for official purposes the Zephyr was in the 14 to 19hp class.

Only the 2.0 estate. My first brand new car, good looking and fun to drive. I was looking for a used Omega to replace the Carlton but they couldn't find one to the spec I wanted, another branch of the same dealership did Mitsubishis, same price as a used Omega for a new one. The main selling point was that the dealership was handy, then we moved and the nearest dealership was miles away! Then I sold it and a dealership opened up in our town a month later, but at six years old it really wasn't wearing well so a V70 was a good move.
