The Mark I Wolseley Hornet was released in 1961 with an 848 cc, 34 bhp engine with a single HS2 carburettor, a top speed of 71 mph and four speed gearboxes with three synchromesh gears. The wheelbase remained at 2,036 mm, with the overall length increased to 3.27 m. Very early Mark I cars had no overriders on the bumpers and a single piece front wing, soon given up allegedly due to cost, and the special overriders first appeared in 1962. Its model years run from 1961 to 1963.
