This wolseley does not come better than this a rare opportunity to acquire such a good one as this. a well-preserved and much-cherished car that launched soon after the London Motor Show in April 1957, so this is one of the very first ones. These were marketed as compact executive saloons, and consequently were in many ways ahead of their time.
The new Wolseleys featured the celebrated Morris Minor floorplan, suspension and steering but were equipped with the more powerful 1500cc B-Series engine and MG Magnette gearbox, a 4-speed manual boasting synchromesh on the top 3 ratios for smooth gear changes.
The engine has absolutely no problem keeping pace with modern traffic, yet having only one carburettor, it’s very fuel-efficient, another plus point for the car. At this price, the car offers an incredibly good value entry point to the classic car world, and will not disappoint.
A very well cared for little car a credit to its low ownership in all those years.
