You reminded me of me Dad's first ever car, a 1959 (I think) Wolsley 1500.
(Me Dad didn't need a car until later in life. Although he drove Army
lorries at times during WW2 he didn't pass his driving test until sometime
around 1969). And of course there was a Riley variant. The Wolsley 1500
was a great car and was built like a proverbial "brick sh*thouse". Excuse
the expression, but it's very appropriate. (We used to say the same about
the Morris Minor too!) I always loved that car. If I ever see one for
sale I would seriously consider it --- mostly for sentimental reasons...

That was according to a book I have called "Famous British Car Marques".
What about the MG ZA Magnette? And other Z? Magnettes? Perhaps you were
thinking of these? I'd have to check my book again...
