Very nice indeed!
I was looking at buying a Wolseley, but a 4/44

Really lovely that, I need to have one of those one day....
Just one thing - in the other thread there'a a picture of each side, and one side has maroon wheels and the other cream - why's that then? I prefer the cream ones myself....
Nice one!

helllo in the proces of going cream maroon didnt suit the wheels, yes they are very different to the morris but enjoy both if i had to sell one of them it would be dificult to choose ,,grandad

According to Wiki, these share the Minor floor pan, if that's the case underneath is it exactly the same as our Moggies?

hello they may be simular underneath but thats where it ends the wolsley is faster nicer inside more comfort handles better better brakes, but in all fairness they are both very good cars,,,grandad

Looking happy in his new home! Glad you are enjoying it Grandad.
To whoever it was who wanted to know the colours, I think it was morrisminor16, they are Maroon B and Pale Ivory.

For those who asked - it is indeed the same basic floorpan with detail differences for front damper mounting (larger dampers) - same rear axle (different ratio), same front suspension although the king pins are drilled through higher up to take the steering arm through at a position to match the higher mounted steering rack. Otherwise - completely different!

Excellent, its nice that the Wolseley has such an appreciative home.grumpygrandad wrote:hello lee every thing just fine she has polished up a treat,,grandad
I must admit it was a hard decision to let it go, but I really want to get my Minor back on the road and my Wolseley 15/50, both of which are in need of work now, plus I just wasnt using the 1500 much and had been after another B so it all worked out really nicely.
If there is anything you think I can help you with about the Wolseley just ask.

Hi Tony. hope you are well. Sorry to see the Wolseley 1500 on ebay, its a shame you have to sell such a nice car. I do regret parting with it, that one is a good one.
Hope it finds a good home,
Lee
