The Wolseley Hornet was released in 1961 as a more luxurious version of the Mini, with longer slightly finned rear wings and a larger boot that gave it a more conventional three box design. Front end treatment incorporated each marque's traditional upright grille design, the Hornet's grille with a lit Wolseley badge, and the cars had larger diameter chrome hubcaps than the Austin and Morris Minis, with wood veneer dashboards.
