Condition
7
The car is described as being in overall solid condition with slight wear visible. The paint was reportedly redone in 2021, and the interior is understood to retain its original early-production upholstery. Mechanically, it has received new brakes, wheels, and tires recently. It's described as having the honest feel of a well-kept classic rather than an over-restored example.

Odometer: 57,171 Transmission: Manual MOT: Exempt A delightful and increasingly rare early-production example of the charming Wolseley Hornet MkII, offered with heritage certificate and retaining many of the features unique to the earliest cars.
Combining period character, originality and recent mechanical attention, this is a highly appealing opportunity to acquire one of BMC’s most distinctive small saloons.
Developed as the more refined and upmarket relation to the Mini, the Wolseley Hornet blended Issigonis practicality with traditional British styling cues, most notably its separate boot, elegant front grille and more luxurious cabin appointments.
Early cars such as this are especially sought after thanks to their numerous detail differences and lower production numbers, making them notably scarcer than later examples.
This particular car is described as one of the first from the production line and is accompanied by a heritage certificate to support its provenance.
