Wolseley Motors Limited was a British motor vehicle manufacturer founded in early 1901 by the Vickers armaments combine. It initially made a full range topped by large luxury cars and dominated the market in the Edwardian era. In 1921 it manufactured 12,000 cars and still continued to be the biggest motor manufacturer in Britain. Following receivership in 1927 it was bought from Vickers by William Morris as a personal investment and years later moved into his Morris Motors empire. After the Second World War its products were "badge-engineered" and it went with its sister businesses into BMC, BMH and British Leyland where its name lapsed in 1975.
