Further Info:
This lovingly-presented, home-market Wolseley was purchased new in May 1955 by Mr & Mrs Harvey of Stafford from Charles Clark & Son for the princely sum £904 3/10d - the original bill of sale comes with the car. The service books confirm 39,000 miles had been covered by 1965 and it seems a Gold Seal engine had been fitted at some stage. 'VFF 373' has had just two families of keepers since, the second of which, a Mr & Mrs Bruce Allen, purchased it from Staffordshire dealer Jones & Alcock in May 1995. Some body repairs, a total respray and refreshing of the brightwork were carried out in 2001. Seven years later the engine and gearbox were thoroughly overhauled and the wiring loom replaced. The 4/44 featured in Practical Classics magazine in 2009 and has attended countless rallies and exhibitions over the years, winning awards along the way. A fine example that currently displays just 69,000 miles, a figure the vendor believes to be correct.
PLEASE NOTE: The service books confirming that this lot had covered 39,000 miles by 1965 have been lost.
