THE S2 GENERATION
The Cars
Continuing the original production manifest — WSM 401 through 407
Every new WSM follows the original production number manifest — approved by Douglas Wilson-Spratt himself.
Upon completion, each car is fitted with an official WSM chassis plate and its unique build number. GT and Sprint variants are available. One of the few things Douglas insisted on was that WSMs should not be supplied as kits — each car is hand-assembled at WSM Cars to ensure build quality bears his name.
