68 Wolseley 1000
Over the weekend I got myself a 1968 Wolseley 1000.
It’s a second owner car and it has been stored all its life in a garage. It is a non-molested car with most of its original parts. It is number 362 built with all the matching numbers. Got its handbooks and original interior. It is an old car hence the name “Miss Daisy”.
I have forgotten how an old 1000cc drives but I must say the hydrolastic suspension is amazing.
It so smooth and enjoyable to drive. Definitely not a race car.
Here are so photos when I picked the car up.
Caught my eye chasing the Opel 200TS

A stop to refill the TS before we got home.

Had someone ask me if it was For Sale at the petrol station......and I said........Nope!!!!

Here are some the pictures of the car and the condition that the car is in.
There are things that need attention but I am going to try to keep it as closed to standard as possible.
The exterior of the car:
