Whereabouts of my old car

    How's it going lads, for a while I've been wondering the fate of one of my old cars. Last year between the months of January and c. July I owned 69-D-878, a Wolseley 1300 automatic. Saved from imminent death in a garage in North county Dublin.
    Anyway I recommissioned it over two months and used it a lot then. Daily driver pretty much. One day I did a ****ing stupid thing and sold it. Friend of my Dad's offered me money for it and I thought, "profit?, shur why not" - I've never not regretted that. I was ****ing stupid to sell it. It was the best car ever.
    Anyway, my Dad's friend sold it after about a month for whatever reason and I lost track of the car then. She was a nice shade of blue (I don't remember the name) with nice patina to it and a dodgy reverse gear. Nicknamed "Worris" by a mate of mine and the name stuck. She shows up as not being taxed on carsireland and that's a bit worrying.
    I'd really just like to know whether or not the little dinger is still motoring. As much as I would like to buy it back I'm completely broke, but I'd give anything to get it back.

    I wouldn't worry too much. She's a looker, and anybody who buys that type of car would know better than to leave her in a ditch somewhere. Nice job you fid, hope you get it back.

    Automatic - gives me the shudders :rolleyes: (just my mother had one TZL 740 AFIR, and some gunterers tried to 'repair' it, but it ended up as a box of bits ) It'll probably show up on a Sunday somewhere - you just interested to see if anyone sees it, or you want contact details for the new owner ?

    Ah the auto box was great for cruizzin' Dublin late at night with my mates in their Civics and Corollas :D

    Either/or tbh. I'd like to just know its still on the go, but if the owner was around Dublin/Wicklow/Kildare/Meath and was willing to let me see it again I'd bloody love that too :D Like I said, I have absolutely no money to offer to buy it back, sadly..

    That looks in perfect condition. You are likely to encounter it sometime.
