From a 1965 film, Dateline Diamonds.

The car has a Coventry DU plate, but appears to be as rough as a badgers arse and clearly missing first gear. Anyone know the story? In some shots it's a nice new one with the grille bar intact.

Hmmmm....... The Wolseley 6/99 must have been the BMW M5 of it's day! - It had absolutely no problem in keeping up with that E type Jaguar! hehe

That E Type EDU 389C can be seen in Jan 90 issue of Classic cars, testing on Dunlop Skid pan in 1965.

Great clip of a lovely car but how come this isn't in the YouTube section. When others post topics with a Youtube link - they almost always get moved.
