This is Edna. Smileee's new garage mate.
She is a 1964 Wolseley Hornet MkII.
A Wolseley is a special edition Classic Mini built from 1961- 1969.

We picked the name after the comments Gordon D. made about Wolseleys "Wolseley's were bought by people's mothers and maiden aunts"

While Laurie and I couldn't agree on the gender of the car and keeping in mind Gordon's comments we decidied on naming the car after Dame Edna.

Great picture and stunning color/front grill work.
It's like Rolls Royce meets mini!
The original velvet red?

I am moving this delightful example to classic mini talk. :smile:

 

She's beautiful. Congrats!

 

Thanks,

Yes I would say the color is closest to Velvet Red.

Here is a picture of our two cars together.



Cheers,
Jack
