Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1907 Wolseley-Siddeley 10hp 'B' Type Four Seater Tourer has been in the same family since 1953. Restored in the 1950s by the current owner's grandfather, a former Wolseley-Siddeley employee, it presents with a charming patina and is mechanically functional, though with minor issues. It's a rare, well-documented early British automobile eligible for various vintage car events.
Condition
6
The car's 1950s restoration has mellowed, showing a patina consistent with its age. While mechanically sound, it has a slightly lackluster compression in one piston. Deviations from originality include replacement seat fabric and a magneto replacing the original coil ignition.

4 In around 1904 the Wolseley Tool and Motor Car Company took on John Siddeley, together with his designs, and commenced production of the vertical-engined cars alongside their horizontal engined cars, the latter of which gradually went out of production.
Initially Siddeley was taken on as Sales Manager for the Wolseley factory in Crayford, but in 1905, when Herbert Austin left the company (quite possibly due to a clash between their two forceful personalities), Siddeley became General Manager of Wolseley's motor car activities.
The vertical-engined cars built under his direction in the Birmingham and Crayford works were generally listed at the time as Siddeleys.
It was only in 1910 (the year after Siddeley himself had left the firm) that the cars were listed by the Company as Wolseley-Siddeleys.
Retrospectively, the name came to be applied to all the Siddeley-inspired cars made by the Wolseley Tool and Motor Car Co.
