The Mark II of 1963 changed to a 38 bhp version of the Cooper's 998 cc power unit, which increased the Wolseley Hornet's top speed from 71 to 77 mph, and Mark II cars also came with increased braking power in the form of front drum brakes with twin leading shoes. Both Mark I and Mark II featured four speed gearboxes with the original long gear lever, known as the magic wand type. The Hornet had the Cooper engine.
