Austin Ten (1932 to 1947)

The Austin Ten is a series of compact cars that was introduced in 1932. The Ten was also known as the Ten-Four, due to its 10 taxable horsepower, and four cylinder engine. These cars were offered in a range of body styles, including saloon, convertible, and tourer. These body styles were given names later in production, such as the Ripley, which was a sports tourer. Power for the Ten came from a 1125cc inline four engine which sent drive to the rear wheels via a 4 speed manual transmission. Production of the Austin Ten lasted until 1947.
