Copied from “The Wolseley Register” website, the pictures did not transfer, but you can find them here: - https://www.wolseleyregister.co.uk/ Wolseley Series III by Anders Clausager, former Wolseley Register Historian and archivist to the BMIHT Ex Lord Nuffield car, the Wolseley 25 DHC Ex Lord Nuffield car, the Wolseley 25 DHC, owned by a Register member The first Wolseley Series III models were launched at the 1937 Motor Show. These were the 12/48 and the Super Six in 16, 21 and 25hp forms. A year later, the 14/60, 16/65 and 18/85 models followed. The 16/65 replaced the unsuccessful Super Six 16hp. In 1938, there were also two other versions of the 25hp car, a long wheelbase limousine and the delectable drophead coupe. The ‘New Ten’ was launched in the spring of 1939, in the saloon and shortly afterwards drophead coupe forms and, but for the outbreak of war, the Eight would have been introduced in the autumn of 1939. Wolseley 21hp Super Six Wolseley 21hp Super Six owned by member Graham Button Car production was recommenced in 1945, at first with the 18/85 and 14/60 models, soon joined by the 12/48, the Ten and the delayed Eight, which made its bow in 1946. In 1947, the 25hp limousine was also reintroduced, but none of the other big Super Six models came back.

Apart from the two drophead coupé models (which did not survive the war) there was a handful of Police tourers on the 14/60 chassis; otherwise all these cars had saloon (or limousine) bodies. Pre-war, a few chassis were still supplied to coachbuilders; Eustace Watkins offered an 18/85 drophead coupé and a Ten tourer, and there were also a few 14/60 ‘Redfern’ tourers. -- Last edit: 2021-07-26 20:20:00 |

With nothing more to go on, after 1945 12/48, 14/60 or 18/85 for relatively good shiny appearance. Longer bonnet with small headlamps therefore 14/60 I guess? |

Sound reasonable to me. It doesn’t have that foreshortened look of the 12/48, so why not? I think the cops got most of the 18/85s. |
