Wolseley Hornet

Wolseley Hornet was the name of two different British vehicles produced under the Wolseley Motors Limited nameplate.

  • Wolseley Hornet six, six-cylinder lightweight saloon, coupé, sports and racing cars produced in the 1930s.
  • Wolseley Hornet (Mini), a variant of the Mini produced by the British Motor Corporation.
  • Mini

    The Mini is a small economy car made by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and its successors from 1959 until 2000. The original is considered a British icon of the 1960s.

    Its space-saving transverse engine front-wheel drive layout – allowing 80 percent of the area of the car's floorpan to be used for passengers and luggage – influenced a generation of car makers.

    In 1999 the Mini was voted the second most influential car of the 20th century, behind the Ford Model T, and ahead of the Citroën DS and Volkswagen Beetle.

    This distinctive two-door car was designed for BMC by Sir Alec Issigonis. It was manufactured at the Longbridge and Cowley plants in England, the Victoria Park/Zetland British Motor Corporation (Australia) factory in Sydney, Australia, and later also in Spain (Authi), Belgium, Chile, Italy (Innocenti), Malta, Portugal, South Africa, Uruguay, Venezuela and Yugoslavia. The Mini Mark I had three major UK updates – the Mark II, the Clubman and the Mark III. Within these was a series of variations, including an estate car, a pick-up truck, a van and the Mini Moke – a jeep-like buggy.

    Wolseley Hornet six

    The Wolseley Hornet was a silky six-cylinder twelve fiscal horsepower lightweight saloon car available as a coupé and open two-seater as well as the usual rolling chassis for bespoke coachwork. Produced by Wolseley Motors Limited from 1930 to 1936 the Hornet was unveiled to the public at the end of April 1930. Wolseley had been bought from the receivers by William Morris in 1927.

    This car's tiny six-cylinder engine, Motor Sport magazine described it as a miniature six, reflected the brief vogue for less vibratory 6, 8, 12 and 16 cylinder engines soon superseded by greatly improved flexible engine mountings. Their overhead camshaft engines were so good that cars built on their Hornet Special chassis developed an outstanding reputation on the road and in club competition.

    The initial offering was something of a quart in a pint pot, tiny but powerful for its size. Furthermore, four passengers might be fitted into the very lightly constructed car. However the market soon required more room and more comfort and the car's nature changed. This was countered by making and selling the Special with a more highly tuned engine. The last Hornet was replaced following acquisition of Wolseley by Morris Motors with Morris's badge-engineered Wolseley 12/48 announced 24 April 1936.

    • 1931 Wolseley Hornet Sports - offered for sale

      1931 Wolseley Hornet Sports Introduced in 1930, the Wolseley Hornet was the car that began the ‘Light Six’ genre. This formula was to prove extremely popular in the first half of the 1930s, as the demand for small cars with smooth running engines with six cylinders grew rapidly. The overhead camshaft Hornet engine displaced 1271cc and was rated at 12hp. The sporting potential of the new Hornet was beyond doubt and the model began to prove its mettle in competition. They also rivalled the Singer 9s and MG Midgets of the period. We are delighted to offer what must be amongst the very best examples of the ‘Sports Special’ model from 1931. Acquired by the present owner - a fastidious engineer - 8 years ago, a full mechanical rebuild and sympathetic restoration was embarked upon. An ...

    1931 Wolseley Hornet Sports Introduced in 1930, the Wolseley Hornet was the car that began the ‘Light Six’ genre. This formula was to prove extremely popular in the first half of the 1930s, as the demand for small cars with smooth running engines with six cylinders grew rapidly. The overhead camshaft Hornet engine displaced 1271cc and was rated at 12hp. The sporting potential of the new Hornet was beyond doubt and the model began to prove its mettle in competition. They also rivalled the Singer 9s and MG Midgets of the period. We are delighted to offer what must be amongst the very best examples of the ‘Sports Special’ model from 1931. Acquired by the present owner - a fastidious engineer - 8 years ago, a full mechanical rebuild and sympathetic restoration was embarked upon. An exact listing of all work undertaken is available to interested parties, as it is too extensive to list here. There is also a CD showing this as well. Numerous historical notes, along with period advertisements are also included along with a most interesting and informative 13-page story of the car by the owner’s wife - who was previously Secretary of the Wolseley Hornet Special Club. There are also a copious quantity of photographs, a parts list and as much information as a new custodian could possibly require. The car was first registered in Devon on 11th May 1931 and also has its original Instruction Manual. There is also a copy of ‘The Wolseley Hornet 1931 - 1933, by Derek Tew. As well as the WHSC, these cars also are catered from by a section of the excellent Vintage Minor Register, so there is plenty of scope for participation in a host of varied events. They are also eligible for VSCC membership. To summarise, this is without doubt an exceptional example of the marque and it drives really well with vivid performance and a most pleasing exhaust note! very special opportunity indeed, this car won its class at a WHSC rally and also was ‘Car of the Show’ at Arundel Classic Car Show 3 years ago, where it was up against some formidable competition.

    The Wolseley Hornet Is a Posh Classic Mini

    The Wolseley Hornet and Riley Elf were cars that should never have had to exist. BMC wanted to expand the reach of their little Austin Mini, and so the car received a makeover, becoming a symbol of old England, complete with a big grille and a saloon rear end.
