Market commentary

This Wolseley has great charm and originality and even with the amount of work needed to bring it back to running, driving condition is a great value at this price. Deciding whether to restore or to preserve is going to present a difficult choice, probably best settled by refreshing the mechanicals first so it can be enjoyed without worrying about damage to the pristine cosmetics of a fresh restoration.
