The Wolseley 1500 and its slightly more upmarket sibling, the Riley One-Point-Five, were BMC’s offerings in what would now be called the ‘compact executive car’ market. Launched in April 1957, the Wolseley had a single-carb version of the 1500cc B-Series engine, and the four-speed gearbox from the MG Magnette. The traditional Wolseley grille, with trademark illuminated badge, adorned the front of this handsome saloon, while on the inside, there was a generous level of luxury.
This 1959 1500 comes with a current V5C and presents in good all-round condition. Thought to be an older restoration, a tow bar has also been fitted.
Estimate: £1, 500 – 2, 000
