patent folding windscreen, Veena acetylene headlamps and cowl
lights Stewart Warner speedometer and Lucas magnetometer
Quarter-elliptic front and rear leaf springs and yellow
artillery-style wheels Ash and steel body and chassis members
Driver side-mounted spare tire And now for something completely
different! MotoeXotica Classic Cars is proud to present this 103
years old 1914 Wolseley Stellite, a British survivor that was
virtually unknown in North America and this example is complete
with an original rumble seat! This example is finished in yellow
livery with black wings and yellow artillery-style wooden wheels.
Its paint and trim are in overall very good order, while its brass
radiator, horn and �Discus' patent folding windscreen are in good
condition. There are paint blemishes on the passenger side of the
hood and at the body/trunk shut line. The car's lights, including
its Veena brass acetylene headlights, cowl lights and ball-shaped
taillamps, look good. In addition, all of the car's brass bits show
the proper amount of patina. The car rides on quarter-elliptic
front and rear leaf springs and Commander 4.50 x 19 tires surround
the yellow wheels mentioned above. The Stellite's ash and steel
bodywork is solid, the black folding soft-top is in good overall
condition (tear on passenger side is present) and the car's engine
bay is tidy. There is a side-mounted spare tire on the driver's
(right) side of the car. The only way to get in and out of the car
is via the passenger (left) side door. Note that the only way to
start this car is via the hand crank at the front; there is no
ignition switch or key. This fabulous time piece sat in a prominent
museum. It is being sold untested but the engine does turn freely!
Under the bonnet is a 1.08L overhead valve F-head four-cylinder
engine with one-barrel carburetor, SV exhaust valves and adjustable
tappets.�Backing this motor is a two-speed manual transmission
mounted on the rear axle. Inside, the car's two-passenger green
leather seat is in fair shape and appears original to the car, as
is the black floor mat. There is a Stewart Warner speedometer
mounted to the driver's right and a Lucas ammeter mounted in the
center dash. The original four-spoke steering wheel looks good,
while the mirror glass, handbrake and hand shifter are in decent
shape, as are the inner door panels. In the rear is a matching
dickey rumble seat that holds and adult or two small children. This
car took part in the Eton Wick Annual Concours d'�l�gance in
September 1963 and competed in the 1965 Bean C.C. Daffodil Run from
Bracknell to Beaulieu. The Electric and Ordinance Accessories Co.,
a division of Vickers Ltd. in the United Kingdom, introduced the
Stellite automobile in 1914. Vickers was also a part of Wolseley
Motors Ltd., and Wolseley designed the Stellite. They were small,
lightweight cars and while popular in the United Kingdom, the
Stellite was virtually unknown in the United States. Production
discontinued during World War I, making these cars extremely rare
today. The relatively high number of surviving pre-1914 Wolseleys
testifies to the popularity of the marque. A large proportion is
overseas. This car is currently located at our facility in St.
Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer shows 4,877 miles.
It is sold as is, where is, on a clean and clear, mileage exempt
