Herbert Austin of the Wolseley Sheep Shearing company had stated an interest in developing an Automobile as early as 1895, working on his own in his own time he developed and built three different design cars none of which were commercially viable. The Wolseley Sheep Shearing company duly lost interest and withdrew finances. Thomas and Albert Vickers, directors of Vickers and Maxim, Britain's largest armaments manufacturer, had much earlier decided to enter the industry at the right moment and, impressed by Austin's achievements at WSSMC, they took on his enterprise. By the time Austin's five-year contract officially ended in 1906 they had made more than 1,500 cars. Wolseley was the largest British motor manufacturer and Austin's reputation was made.

Engines were horizontal which kept the centre of gravity low. Cylinders were cast individually and arranged either singly, in a pair or in two pairs which were horizontally opposed. The crankshaft lay across the car allowing a simple belt or chain-drive to the rear live axle:
