During the next 40 odd years it lived under a Queenslander where although protected from the environment it was not protected from the local Hornet owners who used it as a spare parts supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/carcrank.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Resized-IMG_20210804_0001-.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/carcrank.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Resized-IMG_20210804_0001-.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3633\" width=\"512\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carcrank.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Resized-IMG_20210804_0001-.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/carcrank.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Resized-IMG_20210804_0001--300x109.jpg 300w, https:\/\/carcrank.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Resized-IMG_20210804_0001--768x280.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Around 2012 Joe Wilson obtained the car with a 14hp engine and set about the daunting task of restoration. Initially Joe intended to fit a supercharger but evidently it did not run as hoped so it now has a pair of SUs but the supercharger is in a box so who knows. The car was registered in 2016 and has had 2 owners since and only covered about 3000 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/carcrank.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Resized-PXL_20210621_063945863-1-.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/carcrank.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Resized-PXL_20210621_063945863-1-.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3634\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carcrank.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Resized-PXL_20210621_063945863-1-.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/carcrank.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Resized-PXL_20210621_063945863-1--300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/carcrank.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Resized-PXL_20210621_063945863-1--768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be thinking why has it had so many owners and so few miles?
