Apart from the large front fog lamps this old car is an identical model to my first car. Purchased by me thanks to an enormous Thursday afternoon impulse for the princely sum of £100 in October 1977. It was a 1969 Wolseley 16/60. I've no actual pictures of the car, they were all lost in the fire/divorce (delete as applicable) so it's nice when a survivor like this one pops into my (otherwise crowded with mostly moaning bastards) twitter feed. Sad to say my ownership lasted about a year when unplanned financial problems and house renovations rendered me unable to pay for the numerous repairs it needed to stay roadworthy. It was sent the scrap yard and I adopted a bicycle as a short term replacement. How we laughed.
