1969 WOLSELEY VANDEN PLAS.

I bought this a few years ago to use and did for a bit. It is very, very unusual. £7000 was spent on it in the 90’s including an Oselli fast road 1350 engine. This gives the car some real performance, but it has the oh so very rare minisport 5 speed close ratioed gearbox. This minisport say they only know of 3 left as the boxes were used for race cars. I’ve had the leather seats reupholstered, and refinished the wood cappings, that need to be fitted. The engine and box are in excellent condition and have huge value. The car is in very good but not entirely mint shape, but doesn’t appear to have any major corrosion being well undersealed for protection.a rare car, but with its condition and specification, supported by invoices and history. Sleepily awaiting someone who appreciates an Oselli fast road engine and a 5 speed box. I’d like to see a reasonable £4,750

I LOVE MY 2 CVS

and always look for nice ones. This is maybe the best I’ve seen in years. It’s the rare Bedoin model. It was subject to a complete body off rebuild and has a 24 page book of fullscap photos showing its process. All new or rebuilt body panels, rebuilt mechanics, galvanised chassis, and a lovely history file. It drives and looks superb. I used it all last weekend and even had its new, perfect, top off. 70 with ease. Can’t wait for the summer? But it might be yours by then .... £11,250
