Austin, Hillman, Morris, Standard and Wolseley were a handful of the myriad marques that once constituted Britain's indigenous motor industry. Born in 1896 into the high summer of Victorian prosperity, the native British industry survived until the collapse of The Rover Group in 2005. Jonathan Wood chronicles its 109-year life, from its production of hand-made bespoke automobiles for the fortunate few to the arrival of mass production to provide cars for the many. He looks at the factories and the people who worked in them, and examines the role played by the component manufacturers that serviced the industry. Wood offers explanations as to why motor manufacturing followed the British motorcycle, bicycle and cotton industries into oblivion. 1 col
The Wolseley Eight was a badge engineered, upscale version of the Morris Eight Series E, one of Britain’s most popular and numerous cars of the immediate pre-war and post-war periods. […]
The Wolseley "Wedge" has the distinction not only to be the last car to bear the hallowed name, but to "enjoy" the shortest production run.

Amongst the many marques available from BMC was the Wolseley - a popular series of models amongst the middle classes to whom the interior trim appealed - even if they were, increasingly, only badge engineered Austin/Morris cars. The Wolseley had one lovely little tweak - an illuminated badge on the radiator grille!

Crich 40's weekend
John Wolseley’s exhibition Heartlands and Headwaters, which opened last month at the National Gallery of Victoria, may be the most important exhibition about art and the environment to be held in Australia for a generation.
Elegant, large British saloon, with pace and well-trimmed interior.
Read about the ‘Wolseley luxury compact’ which was to become the biggest selling model ever, the Wolseley 1500.
Another marque inherited by BMC from the Morris/Nuffield stable was that of the once independent Wolseley company. Wolseley cars, by the 1950s, were sold (along with Riley and MG's) as being slightly 'plusher' than the group's standard models. I recall several family Wolseleys - with 'wooden' interior trim and the radiator badge that lit up! Wolseleys were also popular police cars.
