Wolseley 1500

I photographed this car on the Wolseley Register stand at the Northern Classic Car Show at the G-Mex Centre, Manchester in August 1994.

It's a 1965 Wolseley 1500 Series III and has the straight-4 BMC B-Series 1,489cc engine that it shares with the almost identical Riley One-Point-Five. The Riley was the slightly better equipped of the two cars having leather seats and a superior Girling braking system instead of the Lockheed system of the Wolseley. It also had twin 1½ inch SU carburettors instead of the single 1¼ inch SU carburettor of the Wolseley.
