Wolseley Voiturette

Automobiles

The Wolseley Voiturette is an early British automobile designed by Herbert Austin, later founder of the Austin Motor Company, for the Wolseley Sheep Shearing Machine Company around 1899. A simple, lightweight light car, it marked Wolseley's entry into automobile manufacturing and gave Austin his first experience designing a production car before he went on to found his own company.
