My father had one of these in 1956. Paid £75 for it, I remember the reg. DBL 82. My most endearing memory was going to my mother,s sisters wedding. We were all in our Sunday Best,. My father pouring milk bottles of water into the radiator, which ended up in a puddle under the car. Trying to start it with a crank, then pushing it, with my brother and sister. I was the oldest at five years old, my sister was still in her nappy. Happy days!
Fabulous little cars. Yes, it really was the luxury small family car of its time. My Dad's first car was a Wolseley 10, a 1947 model reg no KBB 469. I have so many happy memories of days out in that car. It was incredibly reliable, never broke down and the only big job I ever remember having to be done for MoT was the kingpins.
My dad's first car when I was a kid in the early 60's. His was one of the last, made in 1947. Reg. EOW 472. I remember the wipers packing up during a torrential downpour, but, you could hand crank them from inside! That became my job. One time we were returning home from town and pulling away from the kerb when the steering failed, --like the wheel turned around and around in my dad's hands! It had to be towed. The leather seats were freezing cold in winter too I recall, no heater in the car of course. No seat belts either. Happy days.
ALMOST A MINIATURE ROLLS. VERY SMART LITTLE MOTORCAR
