Wolseley 16/60 - a forgotten British 60s classic!

Wolseley 16/60
For those in the know, you’ll know the progress of the 16/60 came naturally. The manufacturer already had the 15/60 in the market, which had been well received, and the 16/60 was to come in and replace that 50s car with something fresh and more in keeping with the current trends for the 1960s.
And with that, the 16/60 came to market in 1961. The changes externally weren’t some dramatic overhaul - the rear lights were revised to go with the new lower fins and the rear over riders were moved slightly to accommodate this change.
You might wonder then, what it is exactly that was changed for the new car. Well, the biggest changes were going on where the casual observer might not immediately begin to look. The new larger engine with larger valves gave more power and torque and there was the introduction of a new auto box - which I chat about later in the video.
The engine was a 61bhp 1622cc engine, a B series which replaced the 1 1/2 litre engine used in the outgoing model.
It is worth noting that vehicles like this came to market in a new age: the dawn of the motorway. A quick read of the brochure sees Wolseley push the prolonged, high speed cruising potential of the car as a key selling point, alongside the economy.
Ride quality was improved for the new car and there were modifications made to the suspension including changes to the shock absorbers, springs and Wolseley put in a stabilising bar to the rear and anti roll bar to front. Accompanying this was a subtle boost to stability with the increase of front and rear track by two inches - roughly 5 centimetres.
Brakes on these are drums, front and rear, which is what you’d expect for a 60s vehicle. These are obviously very well adjusted because they pull up smartly.
The car is also rustproofed from new as standard and said in the brochure to be treated in one of the most up to date plants in Europe. You notice rust proofing become more of a pressing concern and selling point as the decade accelerates and it’s interesting to see it mentioned as a side note within this one.
The only extras available at time of purchase were laminated screen and automatic transmission and if you’re watching from abroad and you didn’t get a heater, whether or not that was an option to you is dependent on your export market. Interestingly, the radio isn’t listed as an extra, the radio area of the car is said to be designed for the provisions of a smiths radiomobile radio.
Something I did find interesting and you might too, is that in the brochures for these, duotone colour schemes are advertised at the same price as a single colour option - this is quite a rare thing in the BMC line up and worth mentioning. I guess Wolseley’s promise of it being an exceptional value for money car isn’t lost, even in the smallest of details.
They must’ve got something right with this one, because bizarrely, nothing really changes on it apart from dash trim and various sneaky cost cuts to trim until it is discontinued in favour of the 18/85.
Buy Wisely, Buy Wolseley the brochure says. But is it marketing chatter or a message to believe in? Let’s have a closer look at the car and cast our own judgement.

Funny you should say that. I worked on an RAF Shackleton aircraft for a while in the 1960's. Much later I went to an airshow which had a nose-section of a Shackleton. The minute I walked into the cockpit...the familiar aroma took me right back to engines changes in the rain; propeller changes in the rain; refuelling in the rain...and the 400-odd hours I spent in the aircraft. THAT'S what smell-o-vision does!!

I love this channel. Steph doesn’t just judge cars based on whether their sports cars are performance cars. I am I am a guy who has loved all cars all my life, fast or slow, racy or family style as a Texan, these roundabouts that our British friends have are a mystery to me. They look so confusing. I expect they make more sense than traffic lights, but we just don’t have them like this. Thank you, Steph, for you had another great video on a car that I cannot buy here in Texas easily I have never seen a Wolseley Over here in the US.

Great car Steph. Brings back some very happy memories. My first car was a 1964 Morris Oxford, basically the same car. I bought it in 1971, I was 19, it cost £50. Although only 7 years old it was absolutely rotten. I had it for about 4 years before it was scrapped, and I was constantly having it welded up during that time. You just expected it though, so I still look back fondly on that car.

[@philm9593]

Me too. My Dad taught me how to drive his Morris Oxford. The model with raised tail fins, not the rounded ones shown here. Column change. Metal worm got to it in the end. Broke his heart when he scrapped it. Happy days. 😊

[@patagualianmostly7437]

Cars of the 1970-1972 were ALL rot boxes. It seemed that something went wrong with raw steel production at that time. Vauxhalls seemed to suffer the worst. Maybe someone here can explain just what went wrong, because I believe it wasn't just the UK but was a world wide problem.

[@peterdenney5701]

My father owned a wolseley. We went touring in it through Europe in the sixties and early seventies. He was particularly pleased with the cruise control whilst driving on the autobahn, absolute luxury....

[@terben7339]

In Australia, this car was up-engined as the 24/80 model, with a 2.4L six cylinder engine.

[@Davidm1956]

In a fit of youthful exuberance, 3 of us chipped in $20 each in 1974 and bought a 24/80 to hoon around in. Despite the pub crawls and subsequent abuse, it refused to die. Eventually ran out of rego.

[@johnscarsandstuff]

I prefer the bigger, six-cylinder, 'farina saloons but that Wolseley looked very nice. The one thing I wish that the Wolseley 6-110 had from the 16-60 are the extra grilles between the headlamps and the main grille. It gives the smaller car a hint of Facel Vega when viewed from head-on.

[@pggar019]

In Australia BMC took the 16/60 and added two cylinders and created the 24/80

Thanks for the interesting video, reminds me of my Dads 3 litre Austin Westminster which was very like your Wolseley just a bit bigger with steeriing column change, overdrive, twin SU carbs, wooden dashboard. He owned it from new in 1961 and had it for 11years. Rgds

[@jb3222]

An excellently presented video on a beautiful survivor. I uncle's 1964 example with its two-tone (blue and cream) paintwork and high-gloss fascia always seemed the last word in luxury to those of us in an Austin 1100. I agree with you about the dash in this one!

The car is very well presented, well done! As an owner of a 16/60 I instantly noticed that the steering wheel is fitted upside down. I converted mine with an auto box. First gear is very, very short and the automatic transmission pulls the car decently through. The 70 & 71 have ambla seats, which withstand aging very well.

My Dad (6ft) had one of these in two tone OE White/Duck Egg Blue with matching leather and wallnut dash. We drove to Northern Spain (Costa Brava) from north east England when it was just run-in which must have been in about 1966. A great car that replaced new Morris Oxford (written off by a dockside crane). I washed it on Sunday mornings. It was followed by a Triumph 2000 Mk2 which we took to Southern Spain (Costa Del Sol) in 1971.

I had a 1965 Mk2 Wolseley 24/80 which was my mother's car but my father was going through a bit of a financial bad patch and could not pay me back some money he owed me so I demanded the car in lieu of payment. I already had a Capri V6 at the time (early 1970s) but a debt is a debt I guess. And my father was too much the gentleman who should have told his brat son where to get off. Anyway, the 24/80 was the Australianised version of the 16/60 but had the exclusive to Australia 2.4 litre Blue Streak 6. This was the 1622 B series with 2 additional cylinders and was quite a good engine. It had no trouble handling the Borg Warner 35 auto. Timber interior was magic, well up to Jaguar standards. My only complaint was the drum brakes which in 65 should really have been front discs. These cars nowadays would make excellent classic vehicles. Thanks for the review, Steph, which aroused fond memories as well a good bit of guilt.

[@adama8570]

[@adama8570]

@@gregscally5119 Obviously not intended to be a high performance version so more torque combined with an auto box did make sense at the time. One explanation for not reaching wider markets were if I remember rightly that it would have been too near the price of a 6/110. Also limited production capacity could have been an issue but some BMC people thought at the time it would have strengthened the Wolseley identity in some markets.

I know exactly what you mean about the dashboard. It looks very spartan as if they were being stingy with the instruments and controls. The actual dashboard itself appears to be varnished wood but the varnish has deteriorated. My mum's Triumph 2000 went a bit like that, cracked and discoloured.

Hi Steph, when I was at School in the mid 60s, 2 female teachers had these cars. One in a two tone beige and brown, and one in a pale turquoise. As I think of it, all the teachers drove BMC cars, so I think they must have got some sort of concession on them. One had an Austin A55 big fin, two had Morris Minors, two had Mini's and one had a Riley 1.5. The other teacher had a Bedford Dormobile - obviously not a BMC. A lovely car there, full of grace, and plenty of room. Thanks for taking us along - looking forward to the A60 Video !!!!! Take care 🙂

My brother - in - law had one in two tone green back in the late 60s, lovely looking car.👍

I'd have one tomorrow if my garage was four inches longer. With a workbench at one end, I can just squeeze in my Landcrab. Great video Steph.
