Since retirement his interests have included restoring and owning some absolutely beautiful cars.
Some of Wally's collection include a Ferrari, a number of MGs, a Ford Mustang, several Jaguars, a rare Buchanan and even a Mini Moke.
One vehicle that is in the process of restoration is a 1954 Jaguar XK140.
These cars took the US by storm when released in 1954.
They were also highly successful in motorsport all over the world.

Wally's car, which is receiving a full body off restoration, has a very interesting past, having been a successful race car.
Wally has been in contact with the car's original owner who used to race it.
He has filled Wally in on some important background information and is waiting in anticipation to see the restored XK140.
Another car on Wally's restoration schedule is an MGA being restored into Sebring Racing livery.
It should look great.
As can be seen, retirement hasn't slowed Wally down at all, in fact he has picked up a couple of gears.
