The Wolseley Six

[keef]

Found out that there were just 53 Sixes licenced at the end of 2009. That means I'm about 30 cars "light" on my database.

 

Can I ask you all to keep an eye out for any you see at shows or just on the road please? I know I missed one (apparently it had over sized wheels and low profile tyres on ) down near Canterbury. Friends saw it, but didn't take any pictures or even take the reg. no.

I might have missed some on the Internet as well, if you see any.

Not many is it? My eyes are pealed

 

The 18/85's do seem much more common.

[keef]

Not many is it?

No. This makes it all the more important the ones left are saved.

 

No doubt the Sixes poor fuel consumption (compared to the 1800) didn't help with their survival.

 

Just been through my list again and have found another three that have since been taxed, but that still leaves 27 I don't know about.

[messerschmitt owner]

the green ex-army one? Lives in Cheltenham. I took a pic recently but I can't find it.

 

I also saw a blue one on WHYST or in the retro-rides abandoned cars thread with a 78 tax disc on it.

Thats an 18/85 it's an H reg I think.

Thanks. I'll have a look through your posts.

Cheers. Will have a look on RR as well. Same user name?

[keef]

Yep, H reg would be an 18/85. Sixes were made from 1972 (K) to 1975 (N). Maybe a few late reg. (P).

Not looking good... Shame as it was very solid and tidy car, but had been fitted with an 1800 engine and auto 'box.

[keef]

I also saw a blue one on WHYST

Only post on here from you that mentions a Wolseley is :-

 

I used to see one in Gloucester, near the train station - but I did once own a maroon Wolseley 6.

No picture though.

[keef]

That's unusual.

 

Cheers Matt.

Keef - he's refering to one I put on there and here. Its an 18/85 just removed from a bodyshop where it has sat untouched since 1978.

Thanks for that!

 

Definately an 18/85 as only has 3 rather than the Sixes 4 "whiskers".

[Jon]

I'm not sure if this one counts keef, since I'm pretty confident this isn't one of the roadworthy ones:

 

 

 

Can't remember if the registration was NAL939M or N.

 

Spotted at the end of January this year (and last year) at a village near Redmire in the Yorkshire Dales, whilst out for a walk. The rear end's visible from the main street and the front end from a public footpath. Will scout out the village name if you're interested.

[Jon]

Just read your post above keef - I suppose that makes my spot an 18/85 and not a Six then - sorry!

[RedSparrow]

I dunno, looks like there are the 4 chrome strips there, the bottom ones are obscured a bit...

[keef]

Can't remember if the registration was NAL939M or N.

 

Thanks for that.

 

Can't find either on any of the reg.no. look up sites.

[keef]

I think it *is* a Six. Black headlamp surrounds and badge on ns of bootlid.

EAT 440L and HAE 590K are currently for sale on ebay.

[keef]

EAT 440L and HAE 590K are currently for sale on ebay.

Yep. Have this listed as they have the potential to be back on the road, but of course they aren't currently taxed or on SORN, so don't appear in the SMMT/DVLA's figures.

[keef]

Been told of one up near Borgue in Dumfries and Galloway, if anyone is passing with their camera.

[keef]

Another 1974 one sold on Ebay end of 2006/beginning of 2007 Devon/Cornwall border.

I think a pair of Wolseley crabs got raced at this years pre'68 at Hednesford. I cant find any pics but heres a youtube vid. I can't watch it though, as my computer can't handle it!

I went to Haworth a couple of years ago, and these were visible from the road. 154 Hebden Road, Keighley it says............. A6033

 

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?ll=53.833 ... h&hl=en-GB Just above centre on the lower side of the road in a grassy yard. These images are from last year I think..... Hope this helps in some small way.
