Wasn't the Victor 101 one of the first British cars to have curved side glass?
Also, the rust issues of the FA and FB models were addressed with this model.

There was no such Victor as the FA - the first ones were the 1F and 2F, officially the Series F Type 1 and Type 2. Also, the FB Victors didn't rust anywhere near as badly as the F-series either (my father had an FB) as pointed out by Murphyv310 above - and at 11 years old when he sold it during the 1973 fuel crisis it was presentable and solid enough to be on sale within a day at the forecourt of the garage he bought its replacement from. Now, this car I do know was positive earth and was an early (1962) FB.
There are a number of official Vauxhall training manuals for the FC on eBay at the moment, as well as one of the Pearson's books (a precursor to the Haynes manuals). A search for "Training Manual Victor101" should yield the required results.
I have to say, I thought the FD to be the most handsome car Vauxhall ever built, especially with 'Rostyle' wheels and in a dark colour, such as this:
