1969 Wolseley 16/60 | Marden, Kent

The Wolseley 16/60 is the upmarket Wolseley version of BMC's Farina-styled family saloon. It is known for a formal four-door shape and a grille badge that lights up. It was the last of the Farina family saloons to remain on sale, until April 1971. This 1969 car is grey with a red interior: a restrained exterior with a warm, bright cabin. It has a 1,622cc petrol engine and seats four. The upright body gives a camera plenty of clean panel and glass to work with. Those period lines suit 1960s-set film and TV, advertising and photography, where a modest British saloon sets the scene without fuss. Fashion and editorial shoots can play the red interior against the grey paint. It also suits a wedding or a personal hire with a period feel. The car is based in Kent.
