For sale and wanted

Michael,

The last entry in "For sale and wanted" would seem to be back in November 2001.

I don't want to waste peoples time if they have sold the item, is it not possible for the list to be updated.

Has nobody got anything else for sale? a SWB Marlin perhaps of recent vintage?

Kind regards

John Mac

Congratulations on your class 4 win!

You are a real inspiration to all beetle trials drivers and Falcon members.

Well done I'm sovery pleased.

Hornet Special bits

Wanted :-

I am undertaking a total rebuild of a 1932 Wolseley Hornet Special that is fitted with

a unique Abbey Coachworks "Competition" 2 seater body (for which read Trials as it has a 16 gallon tank at the rear!).

 Judging by a number of things such as mods. to the shock-absorbers and various scrapes and dings under the chassis, it seems pretty certain that the car was actively trialled in the 1930's. Along the way it has lost it's original windscreen assembly. These were a bit unusual in that the screen could either be hinged upward (for foggy Exeters ?) or traditionally folded flat. This type of screen was also used on other Abbey bodied Hornets AND Eustace Watkins bodied Hornets of the early Thirties.

Do you know anyone with Wolseley Hornet bits in a shed?

A screen of this type, no matter how rough or incomplete .... would be a great help in restoring this very unusual car. Any good leads will be suitably rewarded !

 

Rebuilding this should keep me occupied as the Allard is gathering dust at the back of the garage having been told it is no longer welcome in Class 7 (but that's another story).

MAC Clee Hills Trial

Hope you all enjoyed the trial,

I ended up watching the first 30-40 cars on 3 hills Hungerford, Longville & the one further down the road. Ended up giving the Singer a good 100+ mile round trip test in the end. Glad I did as a rear axle problem in the form of a "clunking" has manifested itself with a small amount of play at the wheel.

Does anyone know when the TV programme going out?
