To try to move the Victor upmarket, Vauxhall upgraded the trim level of the basic Victor 1800 cc to match that of the 2300 cc version, with improvements that included fabric seat trim, a new clarified instrument display embellished with mock timber surround as well as a new central console.

Prototype engines were fitted to the FC Victor, and the engine also appeared in the Vauxhall XVR concept car. [3] The first production car to use the engine was the 1967 FD Victor. The original engine capacities were 1,599 cc (97.6 cu in) and 1,975 cc (120.5 cu in).
The engine was the well-proven Slant Four engine which had been introduced for the Vauxhall FD Victor models in 1967. Apart from an increased engine capacity from 1.6 L (1,598 cc) to 1.8 L (1,759 cc) and from 2.0 L (1,975 cc) to 2.3 L (2,279 cc) in 1972, the power units remained unchanged.
The 2279 cc engined car had a particularly short run of only 525, according to Vauxhall 427 cars were produced in 1974 and 98 in 1975, only 1167 1759 cc engined coupés were produced. Performance was quite brisk, but fuel economy was never the Magnum's (or the Vauxhall Slant Four Engine's generally) strong point.

Like its predecessors, the Morris Oxford for the 1960s was a four-cylinder family car. It would have been seen as mid-sized in the UK, which is where most of the cars were sold. The Oxford (Farina) competed with models such as the badge-engineered A55/A60 Austin Cambridge, the Singer Gazelle and the Vauxhall Victor.
