johnfromstaffs ◊ 2019-02-20 00:46	While the 6/80s have the numerical advantage, I think that’s a 4/50. The wheelbase is 8ft 6in, the 6/80 and Morris Six were 9ft 2in, the MO Oxford was 8ft 1in. Why they bothered is a bit of a mystery only known to the Nuffield product planners, if they had any. Presumably the overhead camshaft type VC engine in the 4/50 was a bit longer than the side valve type VS engine in the Oxford to allow for the camshaft drive, but with only 8,925 cars built, it would have seemed sensible to lengthen the Oxford a bit and just have two wheelbase variants.
