Three Cars

Three interesting cars that I've photographed recently, two in Hyde and one in Trafford.

This was on a supermarket car park in Hyde, and it's a 1964 Wolseley 16/60. This Pininfarina-styled car was produced from 1961 to 1971 and was an updated version of the earlier Wolseley 15/60. It has a 4-cylinder inline 1,622cc BMC B-series engine, and as a BMC car it has close relatives in the Austin A60 Cambridge, MG Magnette Mk IV, Morris Oxford VI and Riley 4/72.

I spotted this car parked off Stretford Road in Trafford. It's a 2021 Porsche Taycan, an electrically powered car which is available with a motor driving just the rear wheels, or with an additional motor driving the front wheels also.

I took this photograph on another supermarket car park in Hyde, and it's a 1978 MGB Roadster. The MGB was produced from 1962 to 1980 with several updates, and this is one of the later models with the rubber bumpers that were fitted as a result of the impact regulations first introduced in the United States in the early 1970s. It has the 4-cylinder inline 1,798cc BMC B-Series engine.
