Wolseley 15/50

The Wolseley 15/50 was an updated Wolseley 4/44 saloon whose main change was the engine. The 4/44 used the pre-BMC Morris XPA unit, which after the MG TF ended was the only car still fitted with it, so to rationalise production the 15/50 was launched with the BMC B-series engine. Much of the design was shared with the MG Magnette, though some panels are not interchangeable, and with only a single SU carburettor it made 55 bhp against the MG output. It had a floor gear change in place of the 4/44 column change, a monocoque body, front coil springs and a live rear axle on semi-elliptic leaf springs. A Manumatic two-pedal transmission was optional from 1956, and the Farina-styled 15/60 replaced it in 1958.
