A 1934 Jensen Wolseley Hornet Special, bought by the owner when he was a young RAF Engineer Cadet in 1961, is entered into the Charterhouse auction of classic and vintage cars on Thursday 23rd October at The Haynes Motor Museum.
“Rarely do you come across such long term ownership, 64 years is certainly impressive.” Commented Richard Bromell. “From serving as a daily driver to his air bases, transportation for his wife and young family through to use as a wedding car for his children, this rare Jensen Wolseley Hornet special has been well travelled and well enjoyed.”
Despite decades of enjoyment, the RAF Officer who ended up as a Squadron Leader and retired several years ago, is moving house soon to a property where he will not be able to store his beloved car.
Estimated at £6,000-8,000 this is a rare survivor, being just one of some 2,400 Jensen bodied Hornets rather than one of the 29,000 Wolseley Hornets produced, is fitted with a 1,271 cc 6 cylinder engine.
