Descrição
HERE, listed today at Martin Howey Classics, is a 1965 Wolseley 1500. She is bonny enough and the bulk of her paintwork is nice enough. She was never intended to be mint and so it's not a 7k car. Seems solid, some paint imperfections although nothing too serious. Engine seems sweet and shows good oil pressure. Lovely interior with two-tone leather and a specialist-made new wooden dash. Excellent head lining. Just as she looks in my photos taken today. She gives me the impression of being a reliable, everyday user. Just three former keepers.
Fitted with servo assisted disc brakes and a stainless steel exhaust, you will struggle to find better for the money.
This description is based on my opinion of the vehicle, the paperwork that comes with the car and anything I have been told about it. The vehicle is 59-years-old and this cannot be taken as a definitive statement for obvious reasons. As with most classic cars, there may be faults and quirks whilst, almost inevitably, some degree of tinkering and care will always be called for. Such are the joys of owning an antique vehicle and they must be taken within their own context and not compared to modern day cars. They are sold as old, mainly out-dated machines and come without any comeback whatsoever. They are my terms and conditions.
My classic cars are motoring antiques. This car, for example, is 59-years-old. It's not two, five or even ten-years-old as your own everyday car may be. It has been in service for more than half a century and so will have quirks and faults in there somewhere. However, faults on these old girls are not always apparent when buying and selling classics which is what I do. I do not restore them, nor do I pretend that they are concours cars. The majority of them go out as they came in, and I continue to enjoy finding more - a skill which is becoming increasingly difficult as many of you will be aware. They deserve to be taken on as "family pets" and cared for through thick and then. They don't make them any more and demand now out-strips supply. Please bear all this in mind, and enjoy your classic car. I can also assist with delivery and so please ask for a quote. Martin. the details below
I have now been established as a one-man band classic car dealer for 25 years and pride myself on my buying prowess and - due to small margins - my prices which I firmly believe are up there among the very best in the UK classic car marketplace.
Thanks, Martin. the details below.
