Difficult to decide as I have eight possible British coachbuilders of Wolseleys that were active in the 1940s.....
My first choice would be Caffyns...

Yes, eight possible coachbuilders that were building on Wolseleys in the 1940s - some more relevant than others I think.
Let's try Hilton of Rugby, Warks. who built a sports body on a 1935 Wolseley Hornet chassis.
Please open it up again for others to have a go if that isn't correct....

I don't remember Wolseley using the name "Hornet" in the 1940s. Is it a 1930-36 Hornet re-bodied in 1947?
