Wolseley 15/ 60 - Time Warp Car 29k miles
The Wolseley 15/ 60 launched in 1958 was the first incarnation of the ubiquitous Farina. The Wolseley, quickly followed by the Austin, Morris, Riley and MG badged derivatives was the ‘family man’ mainstays of BMC and remained in production until 1971. Power was curtesy of the 1500cc ‘B’ series engine mated to a four-speed gearbox and with stylish leather/ wood interior the car was well received by press and public alike.
Milestone Classics are delighted to offer our five owner ‘Cathedral Rear Light’ 15/ 60 in its original colour of Yukon Grey with red leather interior that has covered just 29, 000 miles from new – it is one of the best we have seen.
The first owner, William Murrell, absolutely cherished his 15/ 60 during 54 years of ownership using her sparingly until he gave up driving in 2014 when the car passed to the second owner, a fellow club member and life-long Farina fanatic. The Wolseley was re-commissioned - work included an engine rebuild, brake overhaul etc. and covered around 300 miles going to local shows and club events.
Over the last four years we have bought/ sold the 15/ 60 three times to decerning regular customers who, like us, put a high value on originality and condition.
Today the 15/ 60 is in ‘time-warp’ condition with original paint/ chrome that has a lovely light patina and an interior that is like stepping back in time – the smell is that of a one year old car! There are absolutely no corrosion/ structural issues with the Wolseley and she drives superbly with willing engine, smooth gear change and excellent brakes
The Wolseley 15/ 60 is one of the rarest BMC models from this era and we expect her to find an appreciative new home very quickly.
