Yes, one point. Odd situation for the time - we have modern manufacturers using alternative marque names for a niche product, but I have no idea why Wolseley felt the need to have this small car as a separate entity from their main range. The marque was incorporated into the parent company in 1920, I think.

(PS I know that it was built by a subsidiary company (Electric and Ordnance Accessories) because the main factory did not have the capacity to cover the whole range, but why a separate marque name?)
