There never was a 'Morris Wolsely Group'. In 1935 Wolseley and MG were
transferred from the personal ownership of William Morris into the public
company Morris Motors Limited. After that many mechanical parts were
standardised between the three marques (something later mergers signally
failed to do) and the MoWoG logo appeared. The Abingdon factory and MG
chassis and engines had the designation of 'G' for many years. Similarly
'M' was used for Morris variants and W for Wolseley.
