[quote HBL4M714OAAF0T33]At least Wolseley lasted a few more years than Riley..another old established UK car maker absorbed by BMC..last Rileys were in 1969.. In any case, from about the mid 50s both Wolseley and Riley were basically just badge engineered BMC cars along with Austin, Morris and MG (saloons)..[/quote] Whatever one says about badge engineering, somehow this 1969 Wolseley 18/85 vindicates the use of an established brand name. Imagine this with just the basic Austin grille, but with all the trimmings inside. Would it have some meaningless appellation such as de luxe, GL, DL, GLX, XLE, SL, Super or GLE? The Wolseley (or Riley) name said it all. Thanks to Deltic, who found these pics of one of the most superb BMC Landcrabs I have ever seen.
