#659 1961 Wolseley 1500 Mark II Saloon
VIN: WWA155692 (chassis)
Odometer: 10430 (5-digit)
Engine: 1500cc I-4 (BMC)
Trans.: 4-spd Manual
The Wolseley 1500 was introduced at the London Motor Show in April 1957. Mark II production began in May 1960 and featured a lower front suspension compared with the Mark I. The Mark II also featured updated chrome steel beltline trim as well as hidden hood and trunk hinges. The saloon bodywork was built by Fisher & Ludlow of Birmingham, England.
This 1961 Wolseley 1500 Mark II saloon is a right-hand-drive model that was imported to the US prior to 2010. Cream-colored painted wheels with chrome hubcaps are shod with Kumho Solus HP4 Plus tires. Braking is provided by hydraulic drums at all four corners. Highlights include chrome bumpers and brightwork, a hood ornament, and fender-mounted mirrors.
The front seats and rear bench seat are adorned in burgundy upholstery that color-coordinates with the dash pad, door panels, and carpeting. The wood dashboard includes dual gloveboxes, an under-dash storage shelf, a heater, and a Radiomobile radio. The banjo-style steering wheel fronts Smiths instrumentation that includes a combination "oil/temp/fuel" gauge and a 100-mph speedometer.
This 1500 is a very strong runner. The 1,489cc engine features an SU carburetor and was factory rated at 43 horsepower. Recent service includes a valve adjustment and a new fan belt. Compression test results are shown in the photos. The mated four-speed manual transmission functions normally.
These Wolseley 1500 MkII's are rather eclectic little cars and are rare to find. Don't miss out on this opportunity to own one.
