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.
