Wolseley · 1962–1965
Wolseley 24/80
The Wolseley 24/80 is an automobile produced by British Motor Corporation (Australia) from May 1962 to October 1965, based on the British four-cylinder Wolseley 15/60 model. It was externally identical to the Wolseley 15/60. The car was also an up-market version of the contemporary Austin Freeway, employing different frontal and rear styling in order to maximise the perceived differences between the two cars and therefore, it was hoped, attract additional buyers away from the General Motors-Holden competition. This reflected BMC's policy of badge engineering in the 1950s and 1960s.
