The Wolseley Six

[keef]

 

Good picture; cheers. Pre-68 should be 18/85s, but I don't know how strict they are with the rules. Chips certainly looks to have an 18/85 steering wheel.

 

Been trying to get all the bangered ones here :-

These images are from last year I think..... Hope this helps in some small way.

 

Great; thanks for the pointer.

Anyone heard from Joncedric lately?

 

Just wondering how he is doing with his Six.

The Haworth cars. One Six, one 18/85 with Six lamp finishers? Or two 18/85 with Six lamp finishers and one with a Six bumper. Arghhh...

Difficult to tell for sure, but four, as against two, vents behind the grille wiskers suggest a Six as does the black headlamp surrounds and lack of over riders. Bumpers them selves are the same. Sixes have four wiskers and 18/85s have three.

 

Another (often over-looked) diff. is the grille slates are wider apart on the Six as it has a rad behind it, where as the 18/85's rad is on the ns wing.

 

Of course if you really want to be confused have a look at this one :-

Vehicle recognition quiz (one question variety)

I used to own a Wolseley six, it even had that script in chrome on each front wing.

The engine did not go in sideways

It was smaller than 3 litres

What was it ?

1970 WORLSLEY 18/85 AUTOMATIC-S

 

18/85 had an 1800 4 pot not a Six.

 

How many mis-spellings of Wolseley can you find?

Excellent try keef, but come forward about 20 years

[keef]

The 6/110 didn't have side scripts, as far as I know. :-

Back to the start keef.....it was smaller than 3 litres, therefore not a 99/110

[simmo]

STUNO is it a 24/80 (Aussie 6 pot version of the 16/60) ?

[keef]

Engine is 2.9L :b

 

The point is, it wasn't a Six, was it?

[simmo]

OK first off not an expert here so the following may be complete cobblers, feel free to correct or diss as you see fit:

 

As has been mentioned in another thread in Aus they do a 6 cyl version of the A60 and I think that the Wolseley badged version of this is a 24/80 (2400cc / 80bhp ?). The car does not have the BMC 'C' series from the 6/99 or 6/110 but a instead has a local 6 pot variant of the 'B' series.

 

Edit: Its on Wikipedia under 'BMC B series engine' gives it as 2433cc

[STUNO]

simmo gets the prize, it was an aussie Wolseley 24/80, exactly like the one in this link (even the colours) but with 3 speed manual trans. None of that fancy 4 speed stuff for them!

It was a fairly unusual car even in the late 60's as the did not sell well.

[simmo]

Nice car, Intesting pictures, 1963 car but with the high fins like an earlier 15/60, not the clipped 16/60 ones which would be expected on a 63.

The 64 had the clipped fins, possibly 1 year behind UK due to very slow sales? Or maybe just because no-one cared a lot

Another Six on the bay :-

Harvest Gold with a sunroof and towbar!

 

[Angrydicky]

Looks really strange with the manual gear lever on the floor and the auto selector still sticking out of the dash!

 

Doesn't look bad, but that front valence looks just as rotton as Mr B's Morris

I hadn't noticed the gear lever so much as the "extra" pedal.

 

I'm just amazed they still keep turning up!

 

I like the transporter the seller has, could fit my whole fleet on that.

This one has a good collection of stickers and things in the front screen. :-

Anyone know what show this was snapped at?
