Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. All origil, including the paint which is aged and chipped but well preserved. Dry, surface cracked origil interior, bright brass trim. Headlights missing but otherwise complete and in remarkable condition for its age.

Market commentary

Bought by the Sharpes at the Sword Collection dispersal auction in 1965 for +900, todays hammer bid was +34,000, 36% over Christies high estimate. This is one of the best preserved automobiles in todays sale, and its price owes as much to origility as it does to the Wolseleys inherent desirability.
