I’m assuming this is an Austin 7?

Absolutely stunning #Wolseley #Hornet on the Wolseley Hornet Special Club Stand at the #NEC #classicmotorshow
The design, attention to detail and craftsmanship of the owner to achieve this is inspiring.
#bestinshow contender in my opinion.

I spy a Wolseley 1500 boot badge!

That’s a Wolseley Fourteen, a rarity in its day, being made for less than a year from the end of 1934 until mid 1935 when it was replaced by the β€˜Wolseley New Fourteen’. The Wolseley Fourteen had a 6-cylinder 14.06hp engine of 1,604cc and cost Β£240 when new.

In a 14hp Wolseley I believe.

A few photos I took of Ozzy’s hometown goodbye today. Shot for the amazing folk at OPUS who helped organise the whole event. Truly the best of Brum πŸ’™

Happened to be passing the Pre-1940 #Triumph & Marque Rally near Leamington this morning, so dropped in - some beautiful #weirdcarbs attending #Gloria #Stag #TR6 #Vitesse #Standard hope you all had a great day.

Yes, it’s in my possession. I assume it must be a founder members badge as it is numbered β€˜7’.

It is a great badge, but I know very little about the club other than an entry on the BNA website re the β€˜Evening Dispatch’ 8th December 1932 that at a meeting it had been decided to form the club headquartered in Birmingham.
I look forward to the publication of your book!!

In December 1932, the β€œMidland Counties, Ladies Motor Club” was formed. The Birmingham UK based club had their stylish deco club badge produced by the β€œBirmingham Medal Co., Fredrick Street, Birmingham.
Any information about the club, its members and activities is appreciated. #Automobilia

Don’t ignore Red warnings. If you are in the zone get in somewhere and encourage others to do the same. Stay away from roads, trains, rivers,flood water and coast lines if you can. Have torches and charged lights and charged phone and powerbank to hand

My first post here and I’ll be posting mainly about my interests and less about work.
Oh, and if I can’t say anything nice, I won’t say anything at all.
