Wolseley 6-99 Introduction

A few months later than the launch of the 15/60, its larger stablemate the 6/99 was released to the public as a replacement to the well known 6/90.

Being of a similar, but larger, design to the 15/60, the 6/99 was equipped with a 103 bhp, 2.9 litre, C-Series six cylinder engine, which was now mated to a new 3 speed gearbox fitted with Porsche style synchromesh on all gears, standard equipment also included a Borg-Warner overdrive unit, which operated on 2nd and top gear. A 3 speed Borg-Warner Type ’35’ automatic gearbox was an optional extra.

Inside, like its smaller cousin, the 6/99 was fitted with a split bench type front seat, but this time the column gear change was retained.

The Wolseley 6/99 was replace in October 1961, by the ADO 53 Wolseley 6/110.
