Looks like you have to be a member to see the pictures which is a shame.Remember the 'Special 6' as saw one new at a car show. IIrc they were black with silver coach lines?

I would give my right bollock for this car. Totally stunning

That does look rather splendid! I was never a big fan of the Princess when it was 'out'...thinking it a rather ungainly looking car. But it's amazing how the passage of time can mellow one's opinion and if I saw that at a show now, I'd spend ages looking at it.Well done for keeping a rare old girl in such lovely nick!!

No one but BL would have even attempted to fit a trad-shape Wolseley grill onto the front of a wedge like that; no matter how long I look at it for, my eyes just won't process it properly. Just that one detail alone serves to illustrate the whole cantankerous mindset behind the operation. I absolutely adore it

Giggidy giggidy goo! That's one gorgeous motor.

Yeah. I always thought the same about the VP Allegro. Radical 70s styling with a chrome grille and walnut picnic tables. Crazy - still looks great though!

I know where there is an utterly shagged wolseley wedge lying in a yard near me.. think i posted pics of it on my shiteseeing thread a while back

BTW: search still not working for older threads, but Google with "site:www.autoshite.com" after the search works.

That one seems more like a wind up Keef, 1978 Wolseley? And IIRC don't these run on 14's, not 13's?

You could be right, but doesn't do any harm to enquire.

 

Later cars did run on 14" wheels, but folk do tend to mess around with wheels a lot.
