For us Brits, our car or van is a symbol of freedom and independence, enabling us to go practically wherever we want, whenever we want.

However, with the whole family packed in and the picnic taking up a lot of room you may need a few added extras on your Vauxhall car (or your van) this summer – and here at Wilson & Co, we’ve got you covered so you can be sure you are well-equipped for wherever the wind takes you.
