Help wanted in replacing or restoring gear linkages on 1955 Wolseley 4/44 (column change). I have to centralise the gear lever by moving it slightly down towards 4th before changing from 2nd to 3rd. Going straight from 2nd to 3rd will not work, coming down the box everything is fine.

For Sale: Radiator shell and radiator for a 21 HP Series car (I think for a Series II)
The shell is in good straight condition with good chrome and no serious dings (The illuminated lamp face is missing as is the 21HP shield). The radiator would provide a good tank and base for a rebuild (I have no idea what condition the core is in). Located in Nuneaton they are for sale for £50. Collection only.
The 21HP plaque and chrome radiator cap (No wings) is available for a further £20 to the purchaser of the shell and radiator.

Beware of scammers
I would like to remind those placing Wanted adverts on the Noticeboard, that there are scammers watching this (and other publicly open) sites. Responding to a scam and being caught out may result in you paying for something that doesn't exist, or worse. The scam email itself is fairly generic for the intended mass usage in that there is no specific mention of the part that you have listed in your advert, instead using terms such as 'it' or 'the part that you require', and most appear to originate from Spain. If somone genuiunely has a part, they should be able to provide further detail in the first instance, not requiring prompting for what part it is you are after, additionally be aware of photographs that can be gleaned quickly from the likes of search engines. A typical example email template is shown below:
"Good day friend, I am XXXX, from, YYYY, I saw your advert that you are in need for the above subject listed on my mail. I just want to know if you are still interested cause I still have it in good condition, if interested let me know so I can get back to you with condition and price. Thanks."

Looking for Wolseley 6/110 for scanning to 1:17 scale model
Hello, I am hoping somebody out there may be interested in helping me with a problem relating to a wolseley 6/110. We are negotiating with the Imperial War Museum London to manufacture a scale model for a new gallery that tells the stories of some of the recipients of the VC. Unfortunately the scale of model (1:17) that they are looking for doesn't exist and we have proposed quite a technical route to achieving their model. This would involve scanning a real Wolseley and then constructing a digital model from which we could construct a real scale model. There are good reasons for taking this convoluted and expensive approach but I was wondering if any owners of a 6/110 may be able to help with the loan of the car to the scanning studios. I can go into much greater detail if any of you're members are interested this opportunity. The scale model of their car would be on display for the next 10 years. If you are able to help I would be very grateful. Many thanks

Restoring 1939 Wolseley 10
I am restoring a 1939 wolseley 10 and desperately need pictures of an original interior, I only have the interior left to do and because the original interior roof lining was missing and various bits of trim, I am a little stuck! Do you know of a series of good pictures showing good interior details. I want to restore to original and moulding and casting brass and bronze parts, leather work (including interiors and saddlery) are part of what I do, but I have no reference as to what surround the windows etc. Is there some sort of padding / sound deadening under the roof lining (perhaps hessian and horse hair?). I would be grateful if you know of any good interior pics and any help would be appreciated.

Beware of scams!
I would like to make the Noticeboard users aware of scammers watching this site. I recently put a Wanted advert onto the board, and after a while received two separate replies, both from Spain, which stated that they had the spares that I required. After I had asked various questions, it became clear that they knew nothing about the cars in question, and so I asked one to send me a picture of the car. This turned out to be taken from a website and is in fact owned by a Register member. So please be aware that this is happening. If anyone is suspicious about any replies to their own Wanted adverts, I would be happy to share the e-mail addresses that were used in the scams against me.
