1936 Wolseley Hornet Kompressor Special for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1936 Wolseley Hornet Kompressor Special is a used car showing 68,355 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Grey with a Red interior.

Rather than a factory Hornet, the car is a Special: a workshop in Germany that focuses on British classics assembled it over six years, from 2011 to 2017. Its six-cylinder has been bored out to 1,648 cc and fitted with a supercharger, and the dealer quotes around 100 hp, a figure it presents as the builder's claim.

The Hornet was a favourite base for specials and club racers in the 1930s, and this one follows that tradition without copying any particular factory model: a long bonnet, slim wire wheels, no roof at all and a sober dashboard. Gallery Aaldering describes it as being in particularly fine condition.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The Wolseley Hornet Special uses a single-overhead-camshaft straight-six of 1,604 cc in its Hornet Special form, with twin carburettors and higher compression, rated at 48 bhp (36 kW) at 4,500 rpm, with a four-speed gearbox driving the rear wheels. The Hornet Special was sold only as a rolling chassis, for coachbuilders to body, with reinforced components.
