Wolseley 6/80
The Wolseley was based on the MO series Morris saloons and shared the 13in longer wheelbase of the Morris Six - and it also shared the same motor.

The lavish grille and driving lights made the vehicle appear more up-market, but it was the interior where the Wolseley shined.

Leather seats, woodgrain dash and heater (for the time considered a luxury). Capable of a top speed of 137 km/h, the vehicle was considered powerful for its day and was the reason for its popularity with UK based law enforcement.

Even though production ceased in 1954, the cars were still in use in 1961.
