Wolseley 6/80 And 6/90

[neutral 3]

What a car ( the 6/80 ) and Yet Another great British car of the 50s ( Inc The Jowet Javelin and Riley Pathfinder ( or Ditchfinder lol ) with such a Very low survival rate.
The Police were Very fond of them, Hendon had one for the skid pan , and a quick car for their size and day. Only Built I beleive from 49-54 ?

I saved a very nice, Original black with red leather 52 or 53 example I'n the Early 90s. It had been Originally suplied new to Jersey . And it had a Lovely sticker in the rear window which said " Temporary Visitor From Jersey " never seen another one of these . How it got here I never managed to find out.

It featured I'n Popular Classics magazine , Nick Larkin ( the magazine editor ) was kind enough to give me a some spare front seats he had as mine were missing along with the Engine. I found an Engine locally , but moved it on to a chap who I beleive still has her.

Stunning.....it really is . The Survival rate of the 6/90 is possibly even lower than the 6/80. Dint think that a Genuine ex Police 6/90 has survived either ?

Yet Another car on my Wish list .

Ime pretty sure a fair few were sent to OZ and New Zealand. Must surely be some I'n the Older more remote salvage yards out there ?
The 6/80 was built I'n Series 1 and 2 versions ( S2 versions 1951 on , I think )

They sometimes had a problem with the Camshaft, but can't recall exactly what the problem was.
