1913 Wolseley C6 16/20 owned by Kerry and Sue Cox |
|
This 3 litre 4cyl engine with a four speed box was the First production car to be fitted with SU Carburetor (made in Wolseley factory) photo right. It was all brass, with a water jacket, and leather bellows, they can be easily seen in lower photograph. Stamped on the SU carby are the words Patent applied for. |
|
Kerry found two chassis rails on a farm in Victoria, some cross members at Dukewater in NSW, so it only took him another 10 years to either find or manufacture the rest, but from the photo above, It is pretty obvious that he did a brilliant Job. |

The Vehicle was imported by Tozer and Fisher in July 1913, in chassis form. Of interest is that the linkages were all nickel plated, so it could well have made its first appearance at a show around Adelaide. Kerry and Sue's first rally on completion of the restoration was in August 1990 Warwick, National Veterans Rally. |
