1970 Wolseley 16/60 | Lancaster, Lancashire

A 1970 Wolseley 16/60, the upmarket Wolseley version of BMC's family saloons of the 1960s. It is known for its upright four-door body, Wolseley's illuminated grille badge and trim a step above its sister cars. A 1,622cc engine drives the rear wheels. This car is finished in Maroon with a Red interior, a deep, warm pairing that sits well against stone, brick or greenery. The upright body gives a clear side-on profile and leaves plenty of room in shot, while the red cabin adds colour to interior frames. The period shape suits film and TV set in the 1960s and early 1970s, and the grille badge gives close-up work a clear Wolseley detail. Advertising, photography and editorial shoots can use it for a British family saloon with some polish. It also gives a wedding or personal hire a quiet, old-fashioned dignity. The car is based in Lancaster, Lancashire.
