Wolseley 1500

1964 Wolseley 1500 for sale

Wolseley 1500 - Original Steel Wings, Simply Beautiful

What a perfect car for the Summer months ahead of us.

She really does turn heads.

Finished in classic English white with red leatherette interior. Very classy. Very "English gentleman"

Only 4 owners since 1964! Amazing.

She Still has the original walnut wood inserts on each of the doors and dashboard. All of the wood is clean and unmarked.

Absolutely everything works on her. Even the light at the end of the indicator stalk flashes after all of these years.

Even the original flying "W" hood ornament is still here.

All of the windows go up and down fine, the doors shut flush, all of the locks work properly, the original door lock covers on the front doors are still on her, the boot mechanism is perfect, the bonnet stay is perfect, wipers work, fans work, heater works, speakers work, lights work, indicators work.

Exterior:
This car does not have fibreglass panels like all of the cheap and battered ones. It has the original steel wings - a true sign of a well cared for car.
Original Wolseley polished hub-caps are still on the car and are clean.
Good Tyres.
The chrome is good-fair all over. It does not need re-chroming (unless you intend on having it as a museum piece).
Original flying "W" hood ornament.
Original AA Badge, Wolseley 1500 boot badge, Wolseley grill badge, Yorkshire Thoroughbred Car Club emblem.

Niggles:
The only recent problem is that the car has been stood and as a result the battery didn't have enough to start the car. So in my great wisdom I tried to boost it off cables with a 2011 Range Rover 4.4 TDV8 but I think the extra voltage gave the 47 year old fuse box a heart attack. It'll be an easy fix for someone that knows what they are looking at. I am the least mechanical-type person you will ever encounter. It's probably a 50p fuse that has gone somewhere. I have added a link with a video showing the car running etc though for peace of mind. Also it shows around the car, in the boot, engine bay etc. so you can have a good look at her. Bearing this in mind you will need to trailer/tow her away unless you know what the problem is and you can get her started here (you are welcome to use my tools, garage etc as I am that confident you will not find anything sinister)


Sat Nav, Power steering, Electric heated seats, Cruise control, Bluetooth, Electric windows. She has none of them ;-) But what you do get instead is a BRITISH Motoring Icon that will make you smile every time you look at her and remember just how good we could build cars back then.


If you want a project car then this is not the car for you.

Cars like this are hard to find. She will be a suond investment for the future.

These British cars sure are cute to look at. Shame that producing a working man's car that didn't leak oil, had any any sort of refinement or that was actually reliable was beyond the grasp of the British Motor Industry in most cases...
