We are delighted to offer this wonderful Wolseley 15/50 saloon finished in black with brown trim. The car has come to us from a local owner who has had the car for more than a decade and shows just 5 former keeps in nearly 65 years. The car is 'on the button' and is a pleasure to drive making trips to events like Goodwood Revival even more enjoyable by arriving in a period motor car. These stylish saloons along with their MG Magnette stablemates shared many components and make a practical proposition with good spares availability and are very easy to work on.

The pictures were taken prior to valeting.

Bodywork

The bodywork is in very sound and presentable order all over having had some restoration work in the past which included a full repaint in gloss black. It retains a bright finish and positively gleams in the sunshine. 

Mechanical

We have just carried out some refurbishment to the brakes so the car stops well for a 50's design and the 1500 cc engine is willing and relatively quiet, the gearbox is very easy to use and the steering lightens up nicely once on the move. All in all, the drive is pleasant and refined.

Exterior

Overall the car presents well with an imposing upright presence, everything is present and correct with all lights working correctly including the trafficators! Additional flashers are included for the benefit of those not used to semaphore arms.

Interior

With a wonderful patina, the aroma of the interior is wonderful, it smells like a gentleman's club with leather seat facings, wooden dashboard and door cappings. It is all in good order and a genuinely nice place to be.

 

Apart from our accurate and reliable description of this car we believe you will not find a better bunch of chaps to deal with; we know our MGs inside out, we won’t flannel you with sales speak and we aim to provide you with a car that you will be bringing back in a year’s time when the next service and MOT is due, no sooner! However, if you do have a problem we will stand by our car and help you in every way possible. We like to think that 38 years in this business counts for something.

 We are in the quiet Berkshire countryside but close to the M4 and Mortimer Railway Station. Our local pub, the Elm Tree is just a few minutes’ walk away and serves fantastic food and proper beers. Call us to arrange a viewing and a test-drive and come and make a day of it.
