WOLSELEY HORNET SPECIAL

1935 Wolseley Hornet Tourer. A genuine Eustace Watkins-bodied Wolseley Hornet four-seat open tourer. 'GW 5426' was first registered in January 1932 and has belonged to a professional motor mechanic for the last 21 years, prior to which it had had only one owner, a Mr Kalupka. It is believed that the Hornet served as the first owner's daily drive until it was laid up in 1962 and all but forgotten. Rescued from its collapsed garage, the Hornet was treated to a body-off, 'last-nut-and-bolt' restoration to a very high standard by its second owner, including a full engine rebuild and much more besides. Most notably, the original Eustace Watkins body was completely dismantled and all the ash woodwork checked and replaced as necessary. The rebuilt frame was then re-skinned in aluminium before being repainted and trimmed by local craftsmen. Now unable to drive the car anymore on account of his age, its restorer has decided to let the Hornet go. The third owner only owning the car for a short time and a regrettable sale due to ill health. Presented in outstanding condition in every respect, having had little use, the car is ready to be enjoyed by its new owner. Eligible for VSCC events, the Hornet comes with full weather equipment (hood and four side screens) and is offered with all paperwork, a V5 Registration Certificate, and its original buff logbook. This lovely Wolseley drove incredibly well on test drive firing straight to life and driving with a good strong engine and smooth gearbox. Ready to attend shows and events in the coming summer months or form part of a private collection. Absolutely any inspection is welcome, and viewing is highly recommended.
