Kin hell that grille, was it in continuous use from 1920 to 1976 or what?

Well this is an appropriate car and number plate combination.

 

Granadaland Greenhouse Gassers ideal staff car.

Not original seats, the original would have been fabric top, but they don’t handle the years well. These seats are from an earlier Wolseley 18/85 and a are a popular ‘mod’.

 

Looks a fairly solid car though. I like these a loads. Getting rare now, nice car.

Anyone who includes a fantastic photo like this in an Ebay advert is obviously a gentleman.

Of course not....One had to remove the lamp during the conflict.

I say that because I have that exact grille and thought it came off a Palmer type 50s car!

Wool is a bit troublesome for the activity about to occur above though, I recommend a good quality rubber glove.

We've had BOJ 617K on here before. I was watching Public Eye this morning and it appeared as a taxi:

IMCDB lists it as also appearing in Special Branch, and possibly The New Avengers.

I imagine from the registration it was in the Longbridge press fleet.

“  It's a great car with a wonderful history, having been purchased new in 1974 by the Church Commissioners as the chauffeur driven car of the Bishop of Gloucester. It did 5 years' service and, in 1979, it was gifted to the chauffeur on his retirement. He ran it until 1985/ 86 then put it in the garage where it stayed until June 2014 when his widow made it available to some members of the Landcrab Club.  “

Cool looking motor, they look so much better than a normal Landcrab IMO.

I love the vertical autobox gear selector.

That top hose looks a bit knackered though !

Why would you fit a top hose that's been heavily stained by a boil-over...

Fekkin Austin 6 I ask you.  IMHO the Six’s look best without the optional or retrofit 18/85 style overiders.
