The Series 1 Wolseley 1500 was released in April 1957, before the Riley was launched in November, directly after the 1957 London Motor Show. The two models were differentiated by nearly 20 hp, the Riley having twin SU carburettors giving it the more power at 68 hp. They used the Morris Minor floor pan, suspension and steering, with the larger 1,489 cc B-Series engine and the MG Magnette gearbox. Its model years run from 1957 to 1960.
