1958 Wolseley 1500

This Wolseley had a 1498cc engine capable of giving it a top speed of 76mph and going from 0-60mph in about 25 sec so it won’t win any drag competitions! Fuel consumption of about 37mpg, it cost new £758 which would be £22,650 today! A gallon of petrol then cost about 5s8d which would be the equivalent of £5 today. A gallon of petrol now costs about £6.30 so it was only a bit cheaper then.
