Wolseley 6/90 Police Cars
Wolseley 6/90
Unveiled during the opening day of the British Motor Show in October 1954, the 6/90 took over as the flagship model, succeeding the 6/80. This 4-door saloon underwent three iterations and adopted the Italian-inspired body panels reminiscent of the previous year's Riley Pathfinder. Notably, while it shared design elements with the Riley, the 6/90 diverged by retaining the traditional six-cylinder powerplant, eschewing Riley's signature "big four" engine and suspension setup. Production of the 6/90 spanned from 1954 to 1959, yielding a total of 11,852 units.
- The 180 HR 15 Michelin XAS is recommended by Longstone Tyres.
- Another fantastic option for the Wolseley 6/90 is the 185 VR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67.
- Some later models instead fitted the 640 H 15 Avon Super Safety.
- For these tyres, we recommend the Michelin 15F Offset Valve Inner Tube.

Wolseley 6/99
The Wolseley 6/99, among the last of the grand Wolseley automobiles, boasted a design crafted by Pininfarina. It was introduced as part of the initial generation of the large Farina series, alongside the Austin A99 Westminster. In 1959, the 6/99 replaced the 6/90 and featured the same 2.9 L (2912 cc) C-Series straight-six engine generating 102 horsepower (76 kW) with twin SU carburettors, akin to the powerplant found in the Austin-Healey 3000. Production of the Wolseley 6/99 spanned from 1959 to 1968, culminating in a total of 37,209 units produced.
- For a pre-1965 Wolseley 6/99, Longstone recommends fitting the 185 HR 14 Michelin MXV-P.
- The Michelin 14F Offset Valve Inner Tube is the correct tube for these tyres.
