Wolseley Six Eighty: UK January 2015

Not quite a car graveyard here just a lonely abandoned car, but what a car it is.

When I found this abandoned cottage in Norfolk, I could see a car under tarpaulin. It was in a barn type out house and access was not possible. I kept meaning to go back and check it out. Well over twelve months later I finally did.

The Wolsley Six Eighty was one of the companies first post war cars, and went into production in 1948.

It housed a 2.2 litre straight six engine that produced 72hp and was capable of taking the car up to 85mph.

It was extremely popular with the UK Police Force and was the longest running favourite by them, they were still used by the Police well into the 1960's.

Even today in the UK they are still recognised as an iconic period police car.
