Following the end of the war, the 12/48 saloon, 14/60, 18/85 saloons, and the 'Ten' saloon were re-issued. Alongside these re-issued models, the Wolseley 'Eight' saloon although designed prior to World War II, eventually launched on the 29th March 1946.
The Wolseley 'Eight' is a smaller version of the 'Ten', the windows are however without louvres, and both the front and rear doors are hung from the centre pillar.
