DynaMike ◊ 2007-05-05 15:19	Almost all pictures I've seen of the Wolseley 1500 show two-tone paint, divided halfway the sides; Riley One Point Fives usually are painted in one single colour (or if two-tone, then it's just the roof that's different). So indeed I guess it's quite sure that this car is the Riley.
Sunbar ◊ 2007-05-05 16:18	The Wolseley 1500 was certainly available without the two-tone paint finish as was the Riley. But Riley is OK for me without a clearer view. Riley or Wolseley it's a Series II model from May 1960 onwards, without the chromed boot hinges.

Compared with the Wolseley the Riley had a shorter (finishing on the driver's door) chrome trim compared to the Wolseley's full length trim. The trim is visible here on the side of the rear wing so it is a Wolseley after all.
