The Wolseley Moth was a racing car developed at Wolseley after the MD Arthur John McCormack set-up a specific racing division in 1920. There were at least three Moths created, all based on the commercially available Wolseley 10 Light Car but modified to be single-seater race cars. During their race career which spanned 1921 to 1930 the Moths held a number of records most notably the "Double 12" at Brooklands. ^[6]
