Riley One-Point-Five and Wolseley 1500
Go to Riley Cars Riley and Wolseley take over the Morris Minor floorpan.

Riley One-Point-Five Series I - grille
Wolseley 1500 MkIII - grille
Riley One-Point-Five Series I. Both the Wolseley 1500 and the Riley One-Point-Five had the same 1489cc B-series engine, but the Riley was given twin carburretors, raising the power to 68bhp.
Riley One-Point-Five Series II. Powered by a twin carburettor version of the BMC B-series engine, the similar Wolseley 1500 had only one carburettor.
Wolseley 1500 MkI. Launched in 1957, the MkI 1500 (and Riley One-Point-Five) had external bonnet and boot hinges, but these were changed for the MkII in 1960.
Wolseley 1500 MkIII. Stronger side grilles and integrated indicators define this MkIII car.
Riley One-Point-Five Series II - wing badesr.
Wolseley 1500 MkI - bonnet ornament
Wolseley 1500 MkIII. This chrome junction was simplified on the MkIII.
Riley One-Point-Five Series I - lamps. MkI and MkII had separate indicators and sidelamps, whereas the MkIII had single integrated units
Riley One-Point-Five Series II - lights
Wolseley 1500 MkIII. The MkIII was given round integrated flashers and sidelamps and a redesigned side grille to fit them
Riley One-Point-Five Series II - rear lamp
Wolseley 1500 MkIII. These much larger tail lights, almost glued on top of the existing panels, were the biggest change from MkII to MkIII in 1961
Riley One-Point-Five Series I. The Riley One-Point-Five (and Wolseley 1500) were originally commissioned as a new Morris Minor and designs were made by Gerald Palmer. The strongly selling Minor did not need to replaced, so after Palmer had left BMC the designs were changed to produce the Riley and Wolseley models that were launched in 1957.
Riley One-Point-Five Series I.
Riley One-Point-Five Series II. The One-Point-Five replaced the Riley RM and ended the time of Riley's own 1500 engine. Instead this -Riley- was little more than a Morris Minor with larger Oxford engine.
Riley One-Point-Five Series II. Underneath the One-Point-Five lies a Morris Minor floorpan as this car was supposed to be the new Morris Minor. Series II cars got hidden bonnet and boot hinges.
Wolseley 1500 MkI. Gerald Palmer started the design of the 1500 as the new Morris Minor, Dick Burzi finished it as a luxury Minor sold with Wolseley or Riley badges
Wolseley 1500 MkII. In May 1960 the MkII 1500 was launched. External bonnet and boot hinges were removed and the chrome trims on the sides were redesigned.
Wolseley 1500 MkIII.
Wolseley 1500 MkI
Wolseley 1500 MkII.
Wolseley 1500 MkIII. Sold from 1961 until 1965, 31,000 MkIIIs joined the 22,000 MkII and 46,000 MkI Wolseley 1500 cars.
Wolseley 1500 MkI. Gerald Palmer had designed a replacement Morris Minor which proved to expensive to market as a Minor. Palmer left for Vauxhall in 1955 and Austin's Dick Burzi finished off the design to be sold as an upmarket Wolseley and Riley car with BMC B-series engine.
Wolseley 1500 MkI. Although sharing its floorpan with the Morris Minor, the 1500 was roomier and more comfortable than the Minor. MkI 1500 (and Riley One-Point-Five) had external bonnet and boot hinges.
Wolseley 1500 MkII. Two-tone finish was optional on all cars except for the cheaper fleet versions. MkII cars no longer had the external bonnet hinges.
Wolseley 1500 MkIII. Still carrying the same 1489cc 43 bhp B-series engine as the 1500 MkI was launched with in 1957, the MkIII sold from 1961 until 1965
Wolseley 1500 MkIII. Launched in 1961, the MkIII was not much more than a cosmetic evolution, with bigger indicators front and rear, and simplified chrome side trims.
