The 6/80 was replaced in 1954 by the Wolseley 6/90, a year after its four cylinder sibling had been replaced by the 4/44. A second hand car review published in England in 1960 observed that even the most junior member of the family would recognise the Wolseley 6/80 as the Cops Car, on television and on the streets, with a good power to weight ratio and robust steering and suspension. The 6/90 was the car that took over from the 6/80.
