The Wolseley Racing Program of 1902-1905: "In 1902, the Wolseley Company turned its attention to racing, for it was generally anticipated that valuable lessons were to be learned in that sphere which would benefit the ordinary touring car."

The Gyrocar: "A striking example of misapplied talent on the part of the inventor and ingenuity on the part of the Wolseley Company in turning out something, the like of which the world had not seen previously and as far as can be foreseen never will again."

The purchase of Wolseley Motors Ltd by William Morris:  as reported in "The Scotsman" newspaper of 10 February, 1927.

A trip across Africa: "Apart from this journey constituting a record, it can be stated quite safely that no motor-vehicle was ever called upon to perform such prodigious feats under such appalling conditions, and none emerged therefrom so triumphantly."
