WOLSELEY 15/60





THE HISTORY


Sharing Some of The Best Design of Its Time

By the 1960’s, Wolseley was one of the British Motor Corporation’s more expensive makes, though it was not much more than a badge-engineered Austin. It shared its body with the Austin, Morris, MG Magnette and the Riley – the vertical grille of traditional shape and some wood trim inside being the only real difference. The bodies were designed for BMC by Pininfarina.
