Description
Just arrived at The Garage!
The actual 1934 Motor Show car displayed on the Wolseley Motors stand
1934 Wolseley Hornet Special EW Daytona 14hp
The Hornet Special was introduced 1932 and available in chassis form to be bodied by coach builders to the customers’ choice. Numerous styles of coachwork were available, however, probably the most attractive were the cars fitted with the Eustace Watkins “Daytona’ bodies.
The Hornet Special was a brisk performer, with its 1. 3 Litre overhead camshaft engine fitted with twin SU carburettors.
The later models had the benefit of an enlarged engine - Now of 1. 6 Litre and this particular car was only the second 14hp chassis laid down and was exhibited at the Olympia Motor Show in October 1934.
Meticulously restored, the car has excellent provenance and is sure to create considerable interest. The engine has recently been rebuilt and the car is reported to drive superbly.
More photographs and a video will be updated shortly
