So I think henryd this is one of those, and an ex-police car version-



To my eyes they still look great today as they did when I was a child. Classic!!

An ex-boyfriends father was taking one of those apart in 1965, and I learnt a lot about the inner workings of a Wolsley, or any, engine!

Judging by the opening shots of the TV programme, it obviously did not have good road handling!  See that rear swing out!!

Thats like the limo version of the minor , very nice

Brilliant find,well done 

Perhaps some of you may remember the big old Wolsey 22hp of the 40`s / 50`s, or the Riley Pathfinder, or the Austin 110`s, ah happy days. , and they were all painted....black

I can remember when, outside the local police station, the police officers used to clean an polish them, can't ever remember seeing a dirty one.

They used to take a pride in keeping the cars looking pristine.

Oh dear, I am old

No, no AA!  Never old, you just have a long memory like me!

I've got a long memory too. I just haven't had as much time as AA to fill it up.

I've got a long memory, but it must be full because I can't remember what I did yesterday

    If I only knew how to do the links for letting the ABS "blue light" fanatic James W have a look. He has the Omega estate police replica. I used to know where an Austin westminster A110 ex police car was. I had tentativly attempted to get hold of it for banger racing. The police spec versions of this car had a triple carb set up on them.

Keith - done it for you

Andy - just did what you said

EMD - great thread (and I've added it on ABS for the Police replica fans there) - thank you

James Waddington and I are both members of another police vehicle club, PVEC.
Some Jan Sandwich markings still exist, The Met Police and Leicestershire. Although The Met are now moving away and will be using Battenburg from now on.

Oy! You forgot me! (though of course you wouldn't make the link... )
