You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 52.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:26, 2 September 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Wolseley 15/50''' was an updated version of the Wolseley 4/44. The main change was the engine; the 4/44 used a pre BMC Morris XPA unit and after the [[MG T-type#TF and TF 1500|MG TF]] stopped production it was the only car still fitted with it.  To rationalise production the 15/50 was launched with the [[BMC B-series engine]] fitted.  Much of the design was shared with the [[MG Magnette]], although some of the panels of the MG Magnette ZA/ZB (e.g. the [[boot]] and rear wings) are not interchangeable with those of the Wolseley 15/50, as stated in [[Practical Classics]].
[[File:Wolseley 15-50 (1958).jpg|left|thumb|Rear view]]
Unlike the MG, the 15/50 engine had only a single [[SU carburettor]] so the power output was slightly less at ((convert|55|bhp|abbr=on)) at 4400 rpm.<ref name=Motor1957/> Unlike the 4/44, the 15/50 had a floor gear change. From 1956 a "Manumatic" two pedal (centrifugal clutch) transmission was an option. This was controlled by a micro switch hidden in the gear lever operating a vacuum servo. Having no synchromesh on bottom gear could make changes into the lowest ratio, which would normally require [[double declutching]], difficult.<ref name=Motor1957/>

The construction was [[monocoque]] with independent suspension at the front by coil springs and a live rear axle with semi elliptic leaf springs. The steering was rack and pinion and Lockheed brakes were fitted with ((convert|9|in|mm|abbr=on)) drums all round.<ref name=Motor1957/>

In keeping with the up-market positioning of the Wolseley brand the car had upmarket trim with polished walnut dashboard and door cappings and leather seats and a traditional Wolseley radiator grille with illuminated badge. The individual front seats were placed very closely together to allow the car to be used as a six-seater albeit marginal but it was usually sold as a four seater. The handbrake lever was under the dash. A heater was fitted as standard.

==Performance==
An example with Manumatic transmission tested by the British ''The Motor'' magazine in 1957 had a top speed of ((convert|77.9|mph|km/h|abbr=on)) and could accelerate from 0-((convert|60|mph|km/h|abbr=on)) in 26.7 seconds. A fuel consumption of ((convert|28.7|mpgimp|L/100 km mpgus)) was recorded. The test car cost £1011 including taxes of £338.<ref name=Motor1957>((cite journal  | title = The Wolseley Fifteen-fifty| journal = [[The Motor (magazine)|The Motor]] | date = 6 February 1957))</ref>

It was replaced in 1958 by the Farina styled [[Wolseley 15/60]].
