Wolseley

In March 1959 BMC introduced the Pininfarina styled Austin A99 Westminster, with the badge-engineered Wolseley 6/99 and Princess 3-litre following later that year. The 6/99 was fitted with the 2,912 cc six-cylinder engine from the Austin-Healey 3000. The interior was finished in luxurious style to distance the Wolseley from its Austin stablemate. The dashboard was polished wood as were the door cappings. Leather upholstery was used on the two front seats and rear bench seat which had a fold down central arm rest. A choice of single or duo-tone colour schemes was offered.

The 6/99 was replaced by the Wolseley 6/110 in 1961. The wheelbase was increased by 51 millimetres and the seating slightly altered to give more rear seat legroom. It used the same engine but now tuned to give 120 hp. For manual transmission cars, the gear lever was moved from the steering column to the floor. Power steering and air conditioning were options from July 1962. A Mark II model was released in 1964 with smaller wheels and a 4-speed transmission with overdrive available as an option. Production of the Mark II ended in March 1968. While the Austin A110 Westminster was replaced directly with the unsuccessful Austin 3-litre, luxurious Wolseley and Vanden Plas versions of the 3-litre both reached prototype stage, but went no further.
