i already have a moggy and love it but have also been offered a wolesely 1500 but im not sure what todo my concerns are

availability of parts as i have only found one parts supplyer
where to look for weak points common problem areas on these cars
but a friend of mine as a 68 2 door morrie 1000 in green which i super clean 2 owners from new 47 tho miles he maybe selling it as he is chasing a mk2 jag but should i hold out and wait and maybe miss the chance of the woley or would i be silly not to buy a car which is more rearer than a mogg?

both are would be up for the same price aswell

any thoughts and advice would be very helpfull

Mechanically they are not a problem - but body parts are difficult. My advice - avoid.......

The Wolseley 1500 and Riley 1.5 are both very nice cars but the Fisholow body is a byword for rust. Be very thorough in your examination of the steel and the interior trimmings.
