1933 Austin 10 Four-Door Saloon
Company / History
The Austin Seven originated from Sir Herbert Austin’s initiative, who after the First World War wanted to create a very affordable car to enable young families to access motoring. Despite opposition from the board, Austin developed the project with the help of Stanley Edge and launched in 1922 the Austin Seven, a small economical car (“people’s car”) which enjoyed great success in Europe and abroad.
Austin 10
The Austin Ten, often called the Ten-Four or simply the Austin 10, was launched on 19 April 1932. It quickly became Austin’s best-selling model in the 1930s and remained in production after the Second World War.
From its launch, the Austin Ten range expanded with a variety of body styles, such as the four-door saloon (like this Austin 10), but also two- and four-seat tourers, two-seat sports models and convertibles.
