1933 Wolseley Hornet Coupe
This scan of a heavily retouched Autocar column header from a February 1933 edition of the magazine shows one of the new Wolseley Hornet Coupe bodied cars, a style that was very much in vogue at that time. A plethora of British manufacturers, including Morris, Austin, Lanchester, Rover and Wolseley all produced examples of these highly stylised coupe bodied models, described by Morris as Sports/Special Coupes. Singer bucked the trend and produced an elegant two-door coupe for their Nine, choosing not to disfigure its shapely lines by the use of dummy pramhood irons. This posed shot was taken on an airfield where one of the DeHavilland DH 60 Gypsy Moth aircraft was parked alongside. (LAT photoscan courtesy of Motorsport Images)
