This reflected BMC's enthusiasm for badge engineering in the 1950s and 1960s. The 24/80 was based on the British four-cylinder Wolseley 15/60 model.[1] It was powered by a six-cylinder version of the {{convert|1622|cc|abbr=on}} B-series engine, known as the "Blue Streak" straight-six engine with a capacity of {{convert|2433|cc|abbr=on}} and developing {{convert|80|bhp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}}@4,350 rpm.[3] Coupled to the engine was a three-speed gearbox, adapted from the Nash Metropolitan, with synchromesh on the upper two ratios and a steering column gear change. The 15/60's rear axle ratio of 4.55 to 1 was raised to 3.91 to 1 in the 24/80.[2][3] The radiator, which in the four-cylinder cars was mounted behind the bonnet-locking bar was now placed in front of the bonnet-locking bar, immediately behind the grille. Released in May 1962[3], the 24/80 was externally identical to the 15/60 except for the wheelbase, which was an inch longer. The interior was the same as that used in the 15/60. Originally, it was available only with manual transmission but later a Borg Warner 35[3] three-speed automatic transmission was offered as an option. The 24/80 Mark II was released in July 1964[3] with identical styling to the British Wolseley 16/60.[1] Power was increased to {{convert|85|bhp|kW PS|abbr=on}}@4,400 rpm[4] and a vacuum power brake servo was fitted.[4] The interior trim was now in soft expanded vinyl rather than the leather used in the original model.[1] Production of the Mark II was discontinued in October 1965 although stocks lasted until late 1966.[1] The last Wolseleys to be exhibited at the Melbourne Motor Show were two 24/80s along with a fully imported Wolseley 6/110 in February 1966.[5] None were exhibited the following year.[6] The 24/80 Mark II thus became the last Wolseley model to be assembled and sold new in Australia.[1] {{clear}}References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 Wolseley 24/80 Retrieved from www.co-oc.org on 21 June 2010 {{DEFAULTSORT:Wolseley 24 80}}2. ^{{cite book|title=Wolseley 15/60 Driver's Handbook|publisher=BMC}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite book|title=Wolseley 24/80 Mk.
