| The 14/56 became one of the most popular models to be produced with approximately 15,000 during the short life of the Series II. Unlike the Morris equivalent at the time, the Wolseley 14/56 featured overhead valve engine and four-speed gearbox, along with ‘Easiclean’ steel-pressed wheels. The ‘Jackall’ system was also available, whereby a hand pumped hydraulic system could be used to raise the front, rear, or all of the wheels off the ground. Source |
| Beautiful car with an interesting history, documented on the wind screen. This car was purchased new in 1923 from Gamages Department Store, London for Sir Dhunjbhoy Bomanji Snr. DB. He was the extremely wealthy owner of Panji Shipping Contractors of Bombay and had homes in India and sevral in England. His main home in England and where the car was delivered was The Willows at Windsor a large riverside property built in 1830 for the Duchess of Sutherland, he also owned the two adjacent properties, giving Sir Dnunjbhoy around one mile of frontage to the River Thames. The property employed around fifty domestic staff, including twenty gardeners for whom the car was used mainly by the head gardener to oversea his staff and to transport visitors. Sir Dhunjbhoy died in India in 1937 leaving the properties including the car to his widow Frances who continued to live at the Willows until 1947 when the estate and car were sold at auction. It now resides in Solihull with an enthusiastic member of the Wolseley Owners Club Shot at the Wolseley Register National Rally, Hawksyard Hall, |
