The Wolseley Hornet, built at Longbridge, revived a 1930s name with a special Mini variant featuring an extended tail, larger boot, distinct Wolseley grille, and upgraded interior, similar to the Riley Elf.
Initially equipped with an 848cc engine and rubber-cone suspension, the Hornet offered more soundproofing and comfort than the standard Mini.
1963, the Mk II introduced a 998cc engine, boosting power to 38 bhp, with a top speed of 77 mph and improved fuel economy. Hydrolastic suspension followed in 1964.
The Mk III, launched in 1966, added wind-up windows and improved ventilation. Production of the Wolseley Hornet and Riley Elf ended in 1969, closing the chapter on these distinctive Mini derivatives.
