The Appeal

Introduced in 1955, the Wolseley 15/50 was an evolution of the earlier 4/4 and - at first glance - was practically identical to the much-loved MG Magnette. It was a classy, palatially-trimmed British saloon that combined elegance with a gentle sprinkling of nostalgia that erred towards the earlier days of luxury motoring.

This 1958 example, imported to Spain in 2006 and now registered as a historic vehicle, offers a unique opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike. This sophisticated saloon has undergone significant restoration work, including a full exterior restoration and a mechanical overhaul just 2,000 km ago.

If you're after a truly distinguished British classic, this is a perfect opportnity.
