1961 Wolseley 1500 MkII - 446 UXY

1961 Wolseley 1500 MkII - 446 UXY
What you might call an honest survivor. Not a show winner and far from exceptionally clean, but I admired this little car despite that and in fact it was maybe it's honesty that made it most appealing.

The MkII Wolseley 1500 was introduced in 1960, but the overall style and layout wasn't significantly altered from the earlier MkI.

The most notable development was the more modern look achieved by the boot and bonnet hinges now being hidden. The side chrome trim was also remodelled, losing the circled 'W' and now extending to the front of the car before returning to the wheel arch.

Sadly, the Mk II was short lived, after only a year and a half’s life it was replaced with another slightly improved version: the Wolseley 1500 MkIII.

Great shot and lovely to see old cars. I certainly would not have guessed 1960. You are right about the styling. I would have guessed much older
