Link to "www.historics.co.uk" graham b "This is either a 16/65 or an 18/85 Series 111, as with the 21hp and 25hp Super Sixes the only external difference is the badge under the illuminated Wolseley badge on the grill.They have smaller side-lamps than the Super Sixes and the fog and pass lamps are mounted just behind the front bumper and forward of the front wings rather than on plinths that protrude through the front wings as on the Super Sixes."
