Wolseley Hornet

What is your favourite car of all time?

Introduced in 1961, the Hornet was basically a BMC Mini fitted with a lengthened box-shaped tail, a distinctive nose, and a more comprehensive trimmed interior. Except for its nose and badging, the Riley Elf was the same as this car. Both Wolseley and Riley versions were given a 998cc engine in 1963.

Wolseley Hornet and Riley Elf 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969

Wolseley Hornet/Riley Elf

What is your favourite car of all time?

The Wolseley Hornet and Riley Elf were launched in 1961 to give a luxury end to the Mini phenomenon. They stretched and beautified the original Mini, with boot extensions, plusher grille and smarter interior. BMC sold 59000 of these models during the 1960s, presumably to people who wanted something slightly more refined than the basic box of tricks. Often described unfairly as "badge engineered", the Hornet and Elf were in fact very important in the development of the Mini, having a 998cc engine five years before the standard car and wind-up windows three years before other models.

2.5-litre/V8 - 250

What is your favourite car of all time?

This was the marriage of Edward Turner's superb V8 engine to a Mk II Jaguar hull and automatic gearbox. Manual gearbox cars were offered from early 1967 but these are quite rare. In 1968-1969 the car was renamed the V8-250. It had new slimline bumpers in the style of the 240/340 Jaguars, but not the other austerities. A total of 17,620 cars were built between 1963 and 1969.

Porsche 911 1964, 1965 and Porsche 914 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975

Porsche 911 1964, 1965

What is your favorite car of all time?

As a replacement for the aging 356 models, the 911 went into production in late 1964. It followed Porsche's traditions, being as fast as ever yet was quieter, smoother and more comfortable. The engine was an air-cooled, flat-six of 1991cc having a single, chain-driven overhead camshaft for each cylinder bank. Independent suspension and disc brakes were features. During 1965 the 911 was joined by the 912, a lower priced alternative fitted with a 1582cc flat-four pushrod engine and simpler interior trim.

Porsche 914 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975

A Hybrid, maybe, but the 914 had a production run of 125,000 in five years making it a significant part of modern Porsche history. Produced by a company jointly set up by Volkswagen and Porsche, the 914/4 was powered by Volkswagen's four cylinder engine and the 914/6 by Porsche's 2-litre six. Apart from the wheels and badging, the 914/4 was indistinguishable from the 914/6. Both featured a mid-mounted engine and all were Targa-topped. Built between 1969 and 1975, the 1914's plus points were its compactness and superb handling. High noise levels from the mid-mounted engine were the minus.
