Our new project Wolsley Hornet Mk 3

Hi there, My partner and I have long been fans of the classic mini, driving them, going to shows with them and fixing them! We have now acquired a 1969 Wolsley Hornet Mk3, pretty much in original condition. It will need alot of TLC though as it has been off the road for 13years, but thankfully dry stored so not too much in the way of rust. Our biggest problem at present is the hydrolastic suspension which is completely down, we were wondering if anyone could suggest where we can purchase a pump thats not going to break the bank? Or anyone local to us, we are in Colchester, who may have one we could borrow? Your help is much appreciated.

Works great!

Hi Ann and Dusty

Welcome to the forum! I hope you do manage to salvage the hydrolastic. Mine has been converted and it's just not the same.

Good luck

I bought my hydro pump but it's almost identical to Red Rileys - I found the Austin America link later!

Hydro gives a great ride; I have a hydro Elf and a hydro Clubby too.
