Not a bad mark up that Chris. This was Roland Knightons car he sold it to a dealer in North Yorkshire who put it on ebay & now another dealer is selling it at £1600 more than Roly got for it. Its a good car with only paint work issues mechanically its fine.

This is Roland Knighton,s old car Nick he is the chap that now owns the Mirage Grey Wolseley six that was at the National. He sold this car 3 weeks before the National, he told me he thought the chap was a dealer but wouldn,t admit to it. The story is Roland bought the car from a chap in Birmingham who in turn had got it for his daughter to use whilst at university, however after having a new dynamo etc, etc, to make sure the car was 100%, she found that due to her height or lack of it she couldn,t reach the pedals very well.

It looks to be the same car Nick. However it lacks the rear over riders on the latest picture & the door mirrors are missing. The creases in the bonnet are probably due to people pushing on it to close it. Also British Leyland were using cheap imported Spanish steel at this time.

Interesting Nick its either a Mk 2 with a MK 3 grille fitted the change over was on K registration if I remember as my dad had a K reg MK 2 & his friend had a K reg MK 3. I am querying this due to the over riders MK 3 cars didn,t have them fitted they were an option extra not many people paid to have them fitted.
