I very much doubt it's even dealer fit It is actually the official Peugeot dealer fit bodykit offered for the 205 - bloody awful even 30 odd years ago. grogee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are interesting cars. The SOHC engine design was reportedly derived from a biplane engine produced by Wolseley for Vickers during the 1914-’18 war under license from Hispano Suiza. Lord Nuffield (William Morris) was a true engineers engineer and it shows in this car. They were let down by premature cam failure - but I think that can be cured by a modern modification. Reportedly 25,000 made. Nice old things. garethj, Joey spud, Asimo and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like someone glued the front end of a Humber Imperial to a Morris Minor. Which is in fact what they did - it's the MO Oxford body tub - which had a side-valve-4 engine - extended for the -6. William Morris liked traditional looking cars so favoured the big upright grille. There is also an identical car called the Morris 6 - which was the Wolseley with a Morris grille. It was a Nuffield trait to badge engineer their cars long before BMC got involved. Various Morris' were 'Wolseleyised' pre-war - and the post war MGY used the Morris 8 tub. The MO was a good car hobbled by a fairly dismal engine - it's successor got the BMC B Series. The Wolseley 6-80 got a reputation for cam trouble and did not sell as well as it should have. The successor the 6/90 used the new C Series engine instead... A car called the Isis succeeded the Morris 6 - which is an extended 1954 Morris Oxford - again with the C Series engine. All very confused and must have soaked up a lot of development time and cost - alas all these big cars were pretty dismal sellers for Nuffield because buyers did not want an expensive car that looks mostly like one from a cheaper brand. The 6/80 and Morris 6 had a unique and one -off short production life engine. This (out of print) great book tells the whole saga of the immediate post-war motor industry. Worth getting hold of.
