Hoping this helps :lol:

Hi there,

If anyone want's a had with anything, just shout. I'll see what I can do. Not about much these days on here due to time and work constrains, but if I can be of assistance, just drop me a PM and I'll see what I can do.

Knocked because it was British, as usual.

There is a really good advert somewhere for Austin Rover with Noel Edmonds with some MG's. Its funny really how cars are promoted now and how they were then.

That would be a 16/60 by the sounds of it, mines an 18/85

I'm 26. I did my apprenticeship on Exmoor. Its in a different time zone. Every year a J reg Wolseley (I forget the model number but same as an Austin Cambridge with that beautiful B series that sounded like an electric motor) would be MOT'd and be rebuilt. The guy drove it over fields and towed his stock trailer with it. I'm sure Rob75 knows the car, Red over grey.
Only working there have I changed carb diaphrams and rebuilt master cylinders! And points! I've almost forgotton what they are!

ahhh the old red and grey wolsley 16/60, an old chap with a big beard drives it. And guess what....... yes he's still driving it, i saw it today in my lunch break.

If I can stop keep spending my respray money it shouldn't be too long, if not this year certainly next year
I've got virtually everything I need to put it back together
Brand new bumpers & overriders
Brand new bootlid badge
Brand new lights
Loads of new mechanical stuff
It's got new wings & sills, there's one door to skin unless I find a better one, new suspension pipes, brake cylinders, brake pipes & fuel pipes
What I am struggling with is finding a driver's seat & a rear seat backrest in red vinyl (apparantly extremely rare)
