Wolseley Hornet
| The Wolseley 'Hornet'
was closely related to the original 'Minor' - Morris'sanswer to the little Austin 7. The 'Minor' used a four cylinder version
of anengine designed by Wolseley shortly before it was taken over by Morris.The 'Hornet' employed the 6-cylinder version of the engine in a lengthenedchassis and was quite popular.
Just as the 'M' type was a sportier version of the Minor, the
'F' type Magnaused a modified version of the 'Hornet' engine but
in a much improvedchassis developed from the 'C' type and the record-breaking
cars.
A modified 'Special' version of the Wolseley Hornet was available with
bodywork from specialist coachbuilders but, although it enjoyed some
competition success, the chassis was not as good as that of the
MG.
'F' type owners would later see Hornets as a useful source of spares! |
