Marketing Manager - Bridge Classic Cars
From Derek Davis, in his own words:
“The picture is of my very first car that I bought from my Dad for £20 in 1972.
It’s a 1958 Wolseley 1500 built like a tank with a Walnut dash, leather seats, electric fuel pump, the little light on the grill and shoes for brakes front & back😲
Learnt most of my mechanical skills on this car especially greasing the nipples 😁
It was well looked after and I sold it on after a couple of years for £40.
Always treasured the memories of this car and still know the number plate SVB 241″

You’ve forgotten to mention the quirky heated metal bar on the back shelf as a demister. 🤣. Loved mine, even when I turned right and the trunnion steering fell apart leaving me with a folded under wheel blocking my local high street. I didn’t make a profit, but I lost nothing when I sold it.

Drove one to Spain in 1966
