FactWhen the 6/110 was cancelled in 1968, its planned Wolseley and Vanden Plas successors never got past prototype stage.
The Wolseley 6/110 replaced the 6/99 in 1961 and remained in production through to 1968 (24,101 made), the final large Wolseley, styled by Pininfarina with additions by BMC staff stylists and also marketed in Denmark as the Wolseley 300. The wheelbase was increased by 2 inches and the seating altered to give 3 inches more rear seat legroom than the 6/99. It used the same 2.9 L C-Series straight-six engine but now tuned to give 120 bhp; on manual cars the gear lever moved from the steering column to the floor, and Hydrosteer variable ratio power steering and air conditioning were options from July 1962. A Mark II was released in 1964 with smaller 13-inch wheels and a 4-speed transmission with overdrive available as an option, and its production ended in March 1968. It had no successor: only the Austin was replaced directly, by the unsuccessful Austin 3-Litre, and luxurious Wolseley and Vanden Plas versions of the 3-litre reached prototype stage but went no further.

It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
