this is my grandads wolsely sadly he died last week so the car may be going or getting kept in the family but it is not known yet

its a 1937 wolsely i think

he bought it some time ago over 20or 30 years, he bought it for £300 for it and since then hes spent thousands on it

he restored it himself all of it and resprayed it aswell

i think he paid something like £1000 just to get the seats reupholstered

sorry i dont know much about this car but he bought it when it was in pieces with all the panels sand blasted etc

the wolsely had the roof had a centre panel that was riveted on i think im not sure (if anyone has any info on this please do tell me ) but he changed it and made some wooden rails for a sunroof he soaked the wood to get the curves right etc

he put alot of work into restoring

this is about all i know about this beauty

anyway here is some pics




enjoy
