Wolseley - a Saga of the Motoring Industry

The book, "Wolseley - A Saga of the Motor Industry" was written by St John C. Nixon, and published in 1949 by G T Foulis & Co Ltd of London. The book covers the history of the Wolseley company from its Australian origins through to the introduction of the 4/50 and 6/80. In spite of its having been published over 60 years ago, it remains of considerable interest to those interested in Wolseley cars although, as an historical account of the Wolseley marque, its importance was eclipsed in 2017by the publication of Wolseley - A Very British Car by Anders Ditlev Clausager.
