The Wolseley 6/90 is a car which was produced by Wolseley Motors Limited in the United Kingdom from 1954 to 1959. The 6/90 replaced the 6/80 as the company's flagship model. It was badged with Six-Ninety on the bonnet and with 6/90 on the bootlid. Whereas the 6/80 had shared most of its body panels with the Morris Six, the 6/90 design was similar to the Riley Pathfinder.

- The Wolseley 6/90 is a car which was produced by Wolseley Motors Limited in the United Kingdom from 1954 to 1959. The 6/90 replaced the 6/80 as the company's flagship model. It was badged with Six-Ninety on the bonnet and with 6/90 on the bootlid. Whereas the 6/80 had shared most of its body panels with the Morris Six, the 6/90 design was similar to the Riley Pathfinder. Morris, Riley and Wolseley had all been owned by the Nuffield Organisation which had merged with Austin to become BMC, and all three marques would soon be heavily involved in BMC's badge engineering; for Wolseley enthusiasts, in retrospect the 6/90 seemed like the last true Wolseley, being visually distinct from contemporary (and cheaper) Austin and Morris offerings. The Pathfinder and 6/90 were still essentially Nuffield designs, although BMC rationalisation meant that the Wolseley received the new BMC C-Series straight-6, an engine that produced 95 hp (71 kW) coupled to a four speed manual transmission. The 6/90 series II and III did without the Mark I Pathfinder's sophisticated rear suspension. It rocked Wolseley traditionalists with a grey striped formica instrument panel and central large chrome mesh "cheese-cutter" speaker grille. The hand brake control was under the dash to the side of the steering column and the gearchange was column mounted opposite the dip switch. The leather trimmed front seats were mounted closely together and the rear bench had a fold down centre arm rest. 5776 were made. The Motor magazine tested a 6/90 in 1955 and found it to have a top speed of 96 mph (154 km/h) and acceleration from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 17.3 seconds. A fuel consumption of 21.6 miles per imperial gallon (13.1 L/100 km; 18.0 mpg) was recorded. The test car cost £1063 including taxes. It is also somewhat notorious for leading to the sacking of its designer Gerald Palmer in favour of Alec Issigonis.

- Wolseley 6/90 är en personbil, tillverkad av den brittiska biltillverkaren Wolseley mellan 1954 och 1959. Wolseleys nya stora bil 6/90 introducerades våren 1954. Morris motoravdelning hade konstruerat en ny sexcylindrig stötstångsmotor, som ersatte Wolseleys traditionella sexor med överliggande kamaxel. Motorn, kallad BMC:s C-motor, kom sedan till användning i allt fler av BMC:s stora bilar under resten av femtio- och sextiotalet. Växellådan manövrerades med rattspak. Övrig teknik delades med systermodellen Riley Pathfinder. Karossen, som var byggd på en separat ram, var något högre och fronten längre, för att rymma den större motorn. Den stela bakaxeln var upphängd i bakåtriktade bärarmar och ett enkelt tvärstag och avfjädrad med skruvfjädrar. Lösningen gav fin komfort, men tyvärr även opålitlig väghållning. I slutet av 1955 infördes ett andra tvärstag för att avhjälpa problemet, men det visade sig vara otillräckligt. I oktober 1956 presenterades den vidareutvecklade 6/90 Series II. Nu hade man infört gammaldags längsgående bladfjädrar, som gav mer lättförutsedda vägegenskaper. Dessutom hade växelspaken flyttats till golvet, som på Riley Pathfinder. På högerstyrda bilar var växelspaken placerad till höger om förarsätet, mellan säte och dörr. Redan i maj 1957 efterträddes bilen av 6/90 Series III, med servoassisterade bromsar och större bakruta. Produktionen uppgick till 11 852 bilar.
