AI Listing Summary

This 1956 Wolseley 15/50, affectionately known as “Agnes”, has been well-maintained by its current owner since 2014, with a reconditioned engine and other recent work. While it presents nicely with receipts back to the 1970s and original documentation, the head bolts need re-tightening soon.

Condition 

6

The car has been looked after well, with recent reconditioning including a reconditioned engine, new clutch, stainless exhaust, and re-chromed grille and bumper. However, the vendor advises that the head bolts will need re-tightening soon due to a recent head gasket replacement. Also the listing mentions the need to allow time for the petrol pump to fill the carb before starting the engine suggesting some mechanical wear or issues. This indicates moderate wear and the need for some reconditioning.

We sold this grey Wolseley 15/50 to its present owner in 2014, and the large history file shows that he has looked after it well.

Affectionately known as “Agnes”, the car's many receipts include expenditure on trim veneer and lacquer in 2017, and £2220 on a reconditioned engine with electronic ignition in 2021.

A new clutch and stainless exhaust were fitted in the same year, and the grille and front bumper have also been re-chromed.

Paperwork includes receipts back to the 1970s, and the car's original buff logbook which indicates that NBL 377 was first sold to a buyer in Newbury in November 1956, finished in grey.

It also comes with an original operations manual and workshop manual, together with old MoTs, Wolseley promotional material, Wolseley Register publications and the current V5C.
