Vauxhall launched the VY/VX Cadet in 1930 with a 17hp engine, or a 26hp engine for export. But the car was too big for a British market which was now buying cars at 14hp or less, so the ASY/ASX Light Six was launched in May 1933. In order to create the Light Six the Cadet chassis was shortened by 6-inches, and the width reduced by 4.5-inches. Cadet bodies were adapted to the new chassis. Power was given by modified Cadet ohv engines, the 1,531cc 12hp for the ASY and a 1,782cc 14hp for the ASX. The DY/DX was introduced in 1935 with an 1782cc six cylinder engine and independent front suspension. The DY 12hp and DX 14hp Light Six had a revised chassis to fit the Independent Front Suspension. The Light Six was given windscreen wipers driven off the camshaft in 1936. There was a restyle in 1936 which gave it a 'waterfall' grille and easiclean wheels. Common body styles were the 4-door saloon and an open tourer. A new monocoque Vauxhall J-type replaced the DX/DY in 1938 and this was given Dubonnet independent front suspension and a new cylinder head on the 1,781cc six cylinder engine. Three bodies were offered on the J-type at launch, the 4-door 6-light saloon, a 2-door coupe and a tourer, but only the saloon went back into production after the war. General Motors Holden started production of the Vauxhall 14J in 1939. Production of the J-type restarted in 1946 and was replaced by the Vauxhall L-type Velox in 1948.
