I had never noticed so far how close this car resembles Mercedes' W187-series aka 220. |

You’ve never driven one, then. The Wolseley was produced from 1948 so the Mercédès resembles it. Also the Wolseley does not have suicide doors. -- Last edit: 2020-12-07 22:27:28 |

I've never driven both of them to be honest. The oldest Benz I've driven so far was a mid-70s /8 (diesel, of course) while the only British cars I've driven by now were a mid 80s-Mini, a Rover 620 and an early New Mini. Neither of them made me fall in love. |

I’ve driven the Morris version, no fun either. |

Really? On paper at least it looks impressive. I always thought that at that time BMC still knew what they were doing. |

BMC didn’t exist then, these cars were designed before the creation of BMC. Also I have had nothing but brand new cars (and my Bentley) to compare against these old ones for the last 36 years. The Morris/Wolseley Six and 6/80 weren’t bad for their era, burnt exhaust valves apart, but only 80bhp for quite a large car, with solid rear axle and cart springs ain’t much. The front suspension was very good, Issigonis designed torsion bars with Morris dampers but no rack and pinion steering on the six cylinder cars. -- Last edit: 2020-12-07 23:00:27 |

Sidelights usually found after Sept 1950. |
