Please email for a link to comprehensive photos of this car.
The Wolseley 1100 and Riley Kestrel 1100 versions of the ADO16 were produced for just two years from 1965 until 1967. Confusingly, a small number of MK1 cars at the end of production were fitted with 1275cc engines and some early MK2 cars were also fitted with 1100cc engines. The early cars are something of a sweet spot in ADO16 production with better build quality, leather trim and various attractive early features. They are also very rare with just a handful of Wolsley MK1 cars left on UK roads.
Here we have a very special car indeed – a very late MK1 Wolseley 1100 in its original colour scheme of Farina Grey and Trafalgar Blue with blue leather interior.
In 2017, it won its class at the 1100 Nationals and as you can see from the photos, it’s in A1 condition, certainly the best of the 20 or so ADO16’s that we have owned. The total mileage is less than 63, 000 from new – the original speedometer failed at 60k in 2017 and the replacement shows just 2, 800 miles. The first owners, husband and wife, bought the car new in 1967 and owned it until 2008. More recently it has been treated to a very substantial round of spending including a bare metal re-paint, re-chrome, gearbox re-build with new clutch, new exhaust, re-trimmed leather front and rear seats and a long list of other replacement parts.
It comes with a comprehensive history from new including a huge file of bills, original service books, original bill of sale, heritage certificate, “BMC” drivers handbook and workshop manual, original sales brochures, various related publications and several spare parts.
Ready to use, outstanding and more or less unique. Delivery and p/ x possible.
