Wolseley was one of Britain's leading car manufacturers in vintage days. Its two early managers, Austin and Siddeley, became famous for their own makes of car and Wolseley made a fascinating assortment of products from sledges for Scott of the Antarctic to Count Schilowsky's two-wheel Gyrocar. Austin and Morris fought American firms for its ownership in the 1920s, Morris winning eventually in 1927. The name was used for upmarket versions of first the Morris and then BMC models of the 1950s, when the cars were widely used by the police. Nick Baldwin
