The Wolseley 6/90 arrived in 1954 to replace the Wolseley 6/80 a year later than the related Riley Pathfinder, but unlike the Riley, the Wolseley 6/90 was to be the first recipient of the new 2,639cc ‘C’ Series 6 cylinder engine which continued to be used in the large BMC cars of the late 1950’s and 60’s.
Unlike the 4/44 the 6/90 used a separate chassis of a sturdy cross-braced box section chassis frame.
The 6/90 Series I featured a column gear change and coil springs for the rear suspension, whilst the later Series II (1956-57) and Series III featured the gear change to the right of the driver, with the rear suspension being semi-elliptical springs. The short lived Series II was replaced by the Series III identifiable by its much larger wrap around rear screen.
5,766 Series I were produced, with only 1,024 Series II produced during its 8 month period, and 5,052 Series III concluding the production run in 1959.
