dsl ◊ 2012-11-04 14:34	Wolseley ADO38 - usually 16/60, but local names and versions may differ ..... Update: no trace of a specific ZA version or to confirm if local assembly. There was an Aus-only 6 cylinder version 24/80 "Upmarket counterpart to the Austin Freeway was this Australian Wolseley derivative, using the same 6-cylinder “Blue Streak” engine, producing 80bhp from its 2.4-litres (hence the model name). A mid-1960s revised version was referred to in the brochures simply as the “BMC Wolseley Mark II”, although the 24/80 badge could still be seen on the boot lid." - Link to "www.aronline.co.uk" - but seems to have had a badge on side of front wing, and no info about export to ZA. So UK-built 16/60 in absence of any other info. -- Last edit: 2012-11-04 17:14:42
