10 Greatest British Saloons of the 1950s – #1 Made Rolls-Royce Drivers Switch Immediately

Britain in the 1950s was finding itself again. The war was behind them, the rebuilding was underway — and on the roads of England, something quietly magnificent was happening. The British saloon car was reaching its absolute peak. In this video, we count down the 10 greatest British saloons of the 1950s — from the Wolseley 6/90 that every British police force trusted, to the honest and dependable Standard Vanguard Phase III, the elegant Humber Hawk, the Le Mans-pedigreed Riley Pathfinder, the Ford Consul that changed what ordinary families could afford, the commanding Jaguar Mark I that criminals and police both wanted, the ultra-rare Armstrong Siddeley Star Sapphire with just 980 ever built, the purposeful Bentley S1 that outdrove its Rolls-Royce sibling, and the breathtaking Jaguar Mark IX with four-wheel disc brakes in 1958. And number one? A car that arrived in the final months of the decade — 220 horsepower, 122 miles per hour, one of the most beautiful cabins in Britain — and made Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud owners walk into a different showroom and never look back. 🇬🇧 Which of these would you have chosen?
