Never seen one of those before, but it'd look sweet on a Bug! :P

I'm guessing it's 700 big ones because it's a consignment piece, and it's an antiques place selling it... so the owner wants a fair bit for it, and the antique dudes want a share of it's worth too. Bit of a shame....

It looks as though it is off a Wolsley-Vauxhaul.. These were a British car made in the late 40's early 50's (Now known as Vauxhaul)

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely,and in good condition- but rather tossed in sideways - Beer in one hand - chocolate in the other - body totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride"

In 1901 Vickers were the owners of the Wolseley Tool & Motor Car Company Limited

William Morris (later to become Lord Nuffield) purchased the company in October 1926 for £730,000.
