From Down at the barns.
Adam Poulton follows the incredible story of how Heinz Foods collaborated with Crayford Coachworks to produce 57 specially converted Wolseley Hornets which were won as part of a Heinz Foods soup competition back in 1966. Today we meet Terry Snow who now owns number 53 of the winning Hornets together with some fantastic documentation from the period, he actually won the car himself in an auction. In this episode we look at the history of the Wolseley Hornet and Riley Elf and how BMC basically took the icon Mini body shell and created a different look for the car.Don’t forget to subscribe to Down at the barns !
