The Wolseley 1100 retains the
traditional styling, which seems to suite a car of this size
very well. The Sidelight finishers and grille fit in very well
together, and on this particular example look well placed with
the Spruce Green paintwork. |
Fitted with a modified sidelight
unit which has more of dome on the lenses and three fastening
screws instead of the normal two. It is also fitted with a
finisher around the unit. |
 |
|
 |
The grille features a light up
badge which adds to the style of the grille. The badge lights up
once the sidelights are switched on. |
I'm sure I've seen those
mouldings before? Yeah, I have. They are the same ones as fitted
to the Riley Kestrel, and MG 1100 and 1300 models. Except.... |
 |
 |
... at the front there is attention to detail. The moulding
doesn't just stop it in fact extends down to the edge of the
wing. When viewed from the side it certainly "finishes" the car
off. |
As viewed from the side. The
angled moulding finishes the line of the bodywork. |

The Wolseley featured the wood
veneered dashboard and leather seat squabs. The carpets were
fitted with an extra foot rest, on the exhaust turret. The
handbrake and gear lever were finished in chrome. |
The door cards were two toned, and were trimmed as follows. The
top part was a slightly lighter colour featuring a thing white
line. The centre panel is a darker colour and trimmed using a
normal cloth. The bottom part of the panel is trimmed with the
same cloth as the top. The map pockets are metal and are trimmed
using a plain cloth which is the same colour as the top and
bottom parts of the panel. |

 |
The Mk1 tail lights and the
mouldings look well placed together. The Mk1 Old English White
wheels also fit in very well with the colour scheme. |
Unusually the Wolseley didn't use number plate lamps mounted on
the bumper in the boot handle, instead two very simple, yet
tasteful lamps were used either side of the number plate. The
Wolseley was also fitted with the single push button boot
opener. |
 |
 |
The badging on the Wolseley were plain simple and within keeping
within the rest of the cars styling. The Wolseley badge is in
keeping with the traditional design. The 1100 badge was used
throughout the range. |
Overall the Wolseley has very
clean lines finished with side mouldings that emphasis the
Pininfarina style. |
