Condition

The car is described as being in original condition with "genuine patina gathered over ~53 years of what looks like light use". The paint has some chips and minor scratches, and the chrome inlay around the seals has discolored. The rear tires show cracks with age, and there is a tiny ding on the front passenger-side wheel arch. The interior has a 1-inch split on the passenger seat and some fading on the carpets. Mechanically, the car starts and runs well, with no reported issues with the engine, gearbox, suspension, or brakes. Overall, it's a well-preserved classic with minor age-related cosmetic imperfections that require some minor reconditioning.

Description
The Wolseley 1300 Mk
II is a classic British saloon car representing the charm and character of post-war British motoring.
As part of the larger BMC (British Motor Corporation) 1100/1300 series, the Wolseley 1300 was introduced as a premium version of this popular range, featuring additional refinement and a distinctively British design aesthetic.
With its rounded, elegant styling, the car embodied the refined looks and compact proportions that made British saloons of the era so appealing.
The Mk
II version brought subtle updates to the exterior and interior while maintaining the classic lines of its predecessor, with a prominent chrome grille and "Wolseley" badge lending a touch of sophistication.
Coming to market from ~9 years ownership with our vendor, this is a rare opportunity to own an original car with some genuine patina gathered over ~53 years of what looks like light use all things considered!
