Alexg Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I would give my right bollock for this car. Totally stunning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boobydoo Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 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!!

MrDuke Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radical 70s styling with a chrome grille and walnut picnic tables. Crazy - still looks great though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keef Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 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 Not the one talked about here is it? :- http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/a ... 26660.html 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
