Is it 'PLG' for the tax class, then 'Wolseley' followed by the cc (2663) then the colour? ('Black')

Yes, although it looks more like 'PLC' than 'PLG'.

Handwriting a GP would be proud of...

it wont be "PLG" back then, the whole PLG taxation class was introduced sometime during early DVLC years, light goods vehicles used to be in their own taxation class/system, hence the whole thing of buy a small van and stick seats/windows in it, they then lumped small goods vehicle into the private taxation class to put a kibosh to that hence ending up with the whole "PLG" taxation class

(so if you look at an early V5 you will see for a regular motor car it just says "PRIVATE" for taxation class)

J Blake & co. who would have been the supplying dealer. I can't decipher any of the other entries though...

I'm guessing then, from here?

Any chance of some interior shots, I would love to smell the wood and leather.

Grabbed a couple earlier whilst tinkering again with the ignition timing

I was thinking that it could be P/C for Private Car considering that other entries in that column are 'Cycle', 'Bicycle' and 'Goods'

It looks lovely despite the leaks and the interior looks very nice. Does the badge still light up?
