Wolseley Hornet 1930-36
The Wolseley Hornet was introduced in 1930, essentially a rebadged Morris Minor, but with its own 6-cylinder engine. The engine was 1271cc overhead cam and 6-cylinders, and it was also used in MG F-type, K-type, L-type and N-type. Hornet Specials were made from 1932-36 with twin carb engines that were enlarged to 1604cc in 1935. Hornets were supplied with factory saloon, open two-seater and coupe bodies, but many cars were sent to coachbuilders for their bodies.
