Hardly ever see them, most of them have dissolved.

The Farina's popularity as a Stock Car , has'nt helped survival rates either ......

Nice Albert! A pity the owner choose the yellow plates instead of the much nicer dark blue plates.

No the Farina`s are not a common site on the UK roads these days,as so many of them have been used for banger racing...

It broke my heart the day my father sold his Wolseley 6/110 to the coalman for £40.00

Funnily enough there are a couple of Westminsters (A110) near to my home that are daily drivers.

The Vanden Plas had the Rolls Royce engine fitted,a nice car but they dont appeal to me as much as the Wolseley 6/11O and the Austin Westminster.

Mt dad had the Westminster before the Wolseley,I dont remeber it on the road ,but remember it going to the scrap yard.

I spotted this beauty in the car park at Goodwood last year,the interior was as clean as the rest of the car,with 60,000 miles on the clock.

I have spoken to the guy who owns this Wolseley {the guy driving the car} he takes it out once a week and he reckons that there are only 12 Wolseley 6/110 police cars left.

They do not have the walnut dash or the picnic tables on the back of the seats like the road cars have

the first one is more or less, its a compact digital camera which is easy to carry around and is great for snapping on the move etc
got plenty of different shoot settings on it too so it is possible to get some great shots from it, i'll post a few if you'd like to see?
