Overdose 102 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) Looking to move on the Wolseley that I picked up as a part-ex. It's a solid enough shell for someone after an easy restoration or a rolling project. Since getting it I've spent some time on the engine getting it running right, which it now does. Most of the consumables for the ignition have been replaced, as has the fuel filter so it now ticks over nicely and revs freely. Engine has around 62k miles on the clock and is leak free. Bodywork wise it's in need of some TLC. There's a couple of patches needed on one sill and a new mount for the rear bumper needs fabricating. Externally the bodywork is starting to show it's age and there's a few areas that will need attention sooner rather than later. Nothing drastic, but needs sorting out at some point regardless. Rear bumper & bracket are included Interior wise it's all wood and leather. The drivers seat has a tear and some of the wood work could do with a sand down and varnish, but apart from that it's 99% there as can be seen in the pics. Great little car that's full of character and if I didn't need to release funds to fix my other car I'd have no hesitation in keeping her. **SOLD** Pictures of the car as of a couple of weeks ago.

AcousticallyChallenged 870 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 They don't make cars you can get into the engine bay with anymore. Must say, I love the extra driving lamp on one side... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doc.fixit 2,767 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 does it need the test?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Overdose 102 Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 Nope, just out of tax in October, £12 to renew. Just to add that the plate comes with the car also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

xbones 21 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Wasn't this owned by that 12 year old that fancies himself as a international car salesman? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AcousticallyChallenged 870 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Wasn't this owned by that 12 year old that fancies himself as a international car salesman?I believe so. Check XLR8 on Facebook for some riotous fun involving him and then a chappie fancying himself as master thief and Mr Gangster. (Anyone on there will know EXACTLY who I mean). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thebees 2,811 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Ooooh I love it but I'm not any good at car stuff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NeverAgain 300 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Don't want to spam up your for sale thread but that really does look like a lovely piece of 60's motoring, back when cars were hand built and no two were quite the same! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doc.fixit 2,767 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 back in the day I had one of these with an MGB engine and wide wheels. For those who remember, that was a real sleeper in those days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dave1978 214 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 £5 to the person who can tell me why that car is illegal based on the photos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dave1978 214 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Scrap that, it exempt, so its perfectly fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AcousticallyChallenged 870 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 £5 to the person who can tell me why that car is illegal based on the photos.If it wasn't exempt, fog light, reverse lamps or side repeaters would be my guesses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
