Wolseley 21/60 is the name of two different luxury cars that were manufactured by Wolseleys in parallel. An eight-cylinder model of this name was offered from 1928 to 1931, while the six-cylinder model was manufactured from 1929 to 1935.

The first 21/60 had an eight-cylinder in-line engine with a capacity of 2681 cm³, which was created from the six-cylinder engine of the 16/45 by adding two cylinders. In contrast to this engine with an overhead camshaft, the 21/60 had overhead valves that were operated with rocker arms. The luxurious sedans were delivered on chassis with 2896 mm or 3226 wheelbase and reached a top speed of 104 km / h.

As early as 1931, the "small" eight-cylinder was discontinued without a successor. Together with the 32/80 , which was produced almost simultaneously, it was one of only two eight-cylinder models that Wolseley ever produced.

A year after the eight-cylinder, a six-cylinder model of the same name appeared. Its in-line engine had a displacement of 2677 cc and an overhead camshaft. The sedans had a wheelbase of 2972 ​​mm and reached a top speed of 103 km / h.

In 1935 the Twenty-One replaced this luxury car - albeit with overhead valves and larger displacement.
