308 Wolseley (Guess)

I have photographed this car before and it proves quiet a puzzle. Both the DVLA and Total car che have it as a 1971 16-60 with a 1622cc engine. That engine would be correct for the 16-60 of 1961-71 but for the cars appearance, the high fins strongly suggesting it is a 15-60 of 1959-61 which originally would have had a 1489cc engine. Then there is the registration number it may have been re-registered 785 GOG as a cherished number, but that number would of originally have been allocated in Birmingham circa 1961 or 1962 pointint to it being the earlier 15-60.

 

As for the wire wheels those would be an after market addition either way

 

If anyone knows the definative story please tell.
