The Wolseley Hornet, a beloved classic car of its time, made its mark in various events and rallies throughout the 1930s. Miss P Goodban proudly showcased her Wolseley Hornet at the North West London Motor Club London-Gloucester Trial in 1932, capturing the attention of onlookers with its sleek design and powerful engine. Neil McArthur also had his fair share of adventures with his trusty Wolseley Hornet, as seen by the CM34 5967, CJ12 7315, CJ10 2151, and CM32 3171 license plates adorning his prized possession. Even though some creators remain unknown, their contribution to the legacy of this remarkable vehicle cannot be understated. The 1931 Wolseley Hornet stands as a testament to timeless craftsmanship and innovation that continues to captivate enthusiasts today. Simon Goodliff's collection of Wolseley Hornets is truly awe-inspiring - from CM27 2263 to CM27 2289 and CM27 4571; each one tells a story of passion for these magnificent automobiles. These cars were not just meant for display but were put through their paces in challenging events like the B&HMC Brighton Motor Rally in 1930. One notable achievement was Kitty Brunell's AC four-seater tourer winning Class 2 at the RAC Rally in both style and performance during the year of '33. This feat was further highlighted when Bill Brunell immortalized it through artistry. The camaraderie between Kitty Brunell's AC tourer and a fellow competitor's Wolseley Hornet at the RAC Rally exemplifies how these vehicles brought people together through shared experiences and friendly competition. Whether it was conquering trials or participating in prestigious rallies, these captivating glimpses into history remind us why the Wolseley Hornet remains an icon of its era.
