Whereas the Morris car had a semi unitary construction, the Wolseley had a substantial steel section chassis with cruciform bracing.

[2] As the car was intended to compete in the up-market sector, it was well equipped with leather upholstery, pile carpets and walnut trim.

The seats were early users of Dunlopillo foam rubber, rather than traditional metal coil springs, possibly the first mass-produced car to use this new material.

At launch the car was priced at £215, £40 more than the Morris with the option of a built-in Jackall system that could hydraulically lift a wheel off the ground for tyre changing an extra £5.

With the outbreak of World War II in 1939, production of Wolseley cars, including the Ten, eventually stopped.
