I purchased this 16/60 only a few months ago. It is mechanically very good, starts, drives and stops beautifully, and the interior is gorgeous. Absolutely everything works as it should, including Kenlowe fan and bluetooth stereo – even the clock! It has 50,900 miles showing, and receipts for a certain amount of work in the last 10 years, including uprated ignition system and stainless steel exhaust, as well as the leather trim, which smells even better than it looks. It has been MOT’d continuously, from the start of the computerised records until July ’25 with only a small number of miles recorded each year. In short, I absolutely love it.
BUT… I bought it (from a dealer, of sorts) as in good mechanical AND structural condition. After assessment from my local Classic specialist (whom I asked to advise on any work I should do to get it ready for a future MOT) I now believe the structure to be much poorer than advertised – and much worse than I was led to believe by all the MOT passes. As I don’t have the money, the skills or the facilities to save it, I am, with a very heavy heart, offering it for sale only through the Wolseley Register, in the hope of finding someone who can take it on or use the many good parts to improve their own 16/60.
I am, needless to say, making a considerable loss on the deal, but as my only other option is to run it into the ground and have this beautiful car’s death, to some extent, on my conscience, I feel that I have no other choice. I live in North Devon, I’m happy to answer questions if I can, send more detailed photos on request, and to welcome any inspections or test drives.
The asking price is £3250, which I hope fairly reflects the good and the bad. I will, in all likelihood, then save up for another Wolseley (there were 1500s in the family, but I think my heart beings to the 16/60!).
