The 6/99 of 1959 is the Wolseley version of the Austin A99 Westminster, with the 2,912cc C-series six on twin SUs and Lockheed 10.75in front discs, 10in rear drums and a vacuum servo. 13,108 were built to 1961. It shares no body parts with the smaller Farina Wolseleys.
The 6/110 of autumn 1961 has a wheelbase 2in longer, a Panhard rod locating the rear axle and more power; power steering and air conditioning were optional from July 1962. The Mk II of May 1964 to March 1968 has a four-speed gearbox with optional overdrive, 13in wheels, telescopic dampers in place of lever arms, thicker discs, and reclining seats with picnic tables. Its twins are the Austin A99/A110 Westminster and the Vanden Plas Princess 3-Litre.
