There are long felt strips that change position when you twist the knobs on the front

the fins are all straight and not rusty

one of the knobs has broken off

Its a bit of a monster.

I'm not sure what that thing came out of, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't a mini.

This will be interesting to find out where it comes from. With the outlets on the same side is a bit different and also the main shout

If you do get one I have a factory workshop manual for the 4/44 and 15/50.

Just missed out on a 15/50 a few yrs ago. They seem to be a lot rarer than the 4/44.

Maybe cos it was (I think) first of the "BMC" Wolseleys.

Probably because the body had been around for a while by the time they fitted the B series engine. :cry:
4/44 production = 29,845 between 1953-1956
15/50 production = 12,352 between 1956-1958 (figures stolen from wikipedia!)

Looks like a bodgie to me...

Look at where the strap passes through the top box. It looks like a few holes were drilled..

It is not a ZA/ZB Magnette, a better car than the Wolseley. Then again I have one.
It looks like a British type of heater with the demister tubes and provision for the blower which is probably in the engine bay.
