During World War One Wolseley built the ohc Hispano-Suiza V8 aeroengine under licence, so it was no surprise to find this camshaft layout on their 1.3 litre 10hp model after the war.
It was not long before the Wolseley-inspired ohc began appearing in the contemporary MG and Morris models, the 1928 Wolseleys being a 2.7 litre straight-eight and a four-cylinder 12/32.
Although the Hornet was later increased to 1.4 litres,1936 was the last year of the ohc Wolseleys.

The Elf and Hornet both had their respective traditional grilles and a longer tail than the other Minis (it was 8½ inches longer) incorporating extended rear wings with tail fins and a top hinged boot lid.

 WOLSELEY
En 1895, la compagnie Wolseley Sheep Shearing (tonte de moutons) demande à Herbert Austin qui avait travaillé pour elle en Australie de concevoir une voiture qui lui permettrait de se lancer dans la construction automobile.
Pendant la Première Guerre, Wolseley construit sous licence le moteur d'avion Hispano-Suiza V8 à arbre à cames en tête, c'est donc sans surprise que l'on retrouve cette technique sur la 10 CV 1,3 litre après la guerre, tout comme les 12 et 15 CV.
Le moteur Wolseley à arbres en cames en tête apparaît alors sur les MG et Morris, les Wolseley de 1928 étant un huit en ligne de 2,7 litres et une 4 cyl.
