1968 Wolseley 16/60 1.6 petrol engine from Netherlands

Summary:

Reliable

Faults:

The only unexpected brake down was caused by worn breaker points of the fuel pump.

In 2001, due to unleaded petrol, I had one burnt valve.

Hence I reconditioned the cylinder head and converted it into unleaded.

General Comments:

For nowadays traffic the car is a bit slow, but it runs very economical, on average 8 liters per 100 km.

Compared with cars of its period it's not bad at all. Handling and speed is better than for e.g. an Opel Rekord 1700 or a Mercedes 200.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
