1973 Wolseley Six, 30000 miles only, for restoration SOLD

For Sale is a Wolseley Six 'Land Crab' in Teal Blue with just 30, 000 miles from new with full service history confirming its provenance and mileage.

Fitted with BL's 2227cc transverse straight six engine mated to an automatic gearbox, this car was an executive's car of choice for the discerning buyer in its day.

On file is the original purchase receipt, a stamped BL 'Passport to Service' document, dozens of invoices from 1973 to 2002 showing the huge amount of care and money spent over the years by just two fastidious owners, together with MOT's and insurance paperwork covering the entire life of the car on the road. Quite simply, the history file is staggering and speaks volumes about the previous owners, now both deceased.

The car has been stored quite badly since 2002 in my opinion, and the body has suffered, particularly on the offside (driver's side) although the sills themselves appear sound. The car now needs someone with the passion, time, skill and funds to restore it for use as a fine example of a very, very low mileage motor car indeed.

All the olive/ honey trim is present but has been stripped out, and the engine and gearbox are in good order, though the car needs a battery and fuel pump in order to run.

Far too important a car to break, given its mileage and rarity, and luckily, parts are readily available these days and not overly expensive. Value when restored is in the region of £5k and climbing.

I bought it as a project but quite simply, the task is too big for me given two other vehicles I am restoring right now.

Not looking to mess about price or time wise, this car can be bought for just £600, which is precisely what I paid for it last month.

The car is currently on a trailer and can either be delivered to your door at cost OR collected from my home in Southam, Warwickshire CV47.

The car is in a very good and roadworthy condition but not concourse. The interior is original and still servicable and remarkably comfortable for an old car. The running board is also an original feature. I believe the car was restored in 1985 to a good specification. The car is MOT exempt. I have owned the car for ...
