Description
1934 Wolseley Hornet Eustace Watkins Special
• Of the numerous styles of coachwork that were available on the Wolseley Hornet Special chassis, without a doubt, one of the most attractive was the purposeful ‘Daytona Special’ 2-seater, offered by Eustace Watkins, the London Main Agent for Wolseley cars.
• At £275 this represented very good value for a 6-cylinder 2 seater sports car with excellent performance allied to good fuel economy.
• This 1934 example spent over 50 years in storage in Canada before returning to the UK in 2005.
• It subsequently underwent an extensive restoration which has included a reconstruction of the body framework and replacement of many panels.
• The chassis and running gear were overhauled including replacement of kingpins and all steering gear and the braking system was fully refurbished.
• The engine, gearbox and rear axle were then overhauled.
• All brightwork was re-played, the original instruments restored and the car was fully re-trimmed.
•
Great attention to detail is clearly evident and this motor car presents in fine order throughout.
