Highlights

One former registered keeper
Unrestored and never taken apart according to the vendor
Bodywork reported to be very straight and solid
Described by the vendor as a peppy and enjoyable driver

The Appeal

The Wolseley 16/60 sits at the more refined end of BMC's Farina-styled saloon range, distinguished by its illuminated grille badge, walnut dashboard, and a level of trim that sets it apart from its Austin and Morris counterparts. Today, survivors in any condition are thin on the ground, and finding one that has been neither abandoned nor broken for parts is uncommon.

This 1969 example has had just one former registered keeper and, according to the vendor, has never been taken apart or left to deteriorate. It remains in unrestored condition, a reflection of the careful stewardship it has enjoyed throughout its life. The vendor notes that examples in this condition are very hard to come by.
