122 Austin 10/4 (Ten) Saloon (1933) 693 UXG by Robert Knight Via Flickr: Austin 10/4 Saloon (1932-34) Engine 1125cc S4 SV Production 53695 Registration Number 693 UXG (Middlesborough) AUSTIN SET www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/albums/721576237598082... The Austin Ten was a small car that was produced by Austin, from 19th April 1932, until 1947, and was Austin's best-selling car in the 1930s. It slotted into the Austin range above the Austin (baby) Seven and the various Austin 12s. The design of the car was conservative with a pressed steel body built on a ladder chassis. The chassis was designed to give a low overall height to the car by dipping down by 2.75 inches between the axles. The 1125-cc four-cylinder side-valve engine producing 21 brake horsepower (16 kW) drove the rear wheels through a four-speed gearbox and open drive shaft to a live rear axle. Steering was by worm and wheel. Suspension was by half-elliptic springs all round mounted on silent-bloc bushes and damped by frictional shock absorbers. The four-wheel brakes were cable and rod operated by pedal or by hand lever on the offside of the speed lever. 1933 saw the saloons joined by an open two-seater or Open Road tourer, a Colwyn cabriolet and a van. A sports model, the 65 miles per hour (105 km/h), 30 brake horsepower (22 kW) Ripley joined the range in 1934. Mechanical upgrades for 1934 included a stronger chassis, synchromesh on the top two gears and 12-volt electrics. 1934-36 The first styling change came in August 1934 with a change to the radiator when the plated surround or cowl was replaced by one painted in body colour and it was given a slight slope. Synchromesh was added to second gear and dual screen wipers, flush-fitting self-cancelling trafficators (worked by the steering) and a foot-operated headlamp dip switch were fitted. The engine controls were simplified by the adoption of automatic ignition, compensated voltage control, and the provision of a choke The saloon was given the name Lichfield and got a protruding boot which enclosed the spare wheel. For 1937, the Ten came with the almost streamlined Cambridge saloon and Conway cabriolet. Compared with the preceding cars the passengers and engine were positioned much further forward, the back seat now being rather forward of the back axle. All steel six light saloon bodywork, now with a proper boot, Girling brakes, forward mounted engine, 16 inch steel spoke wheels and 60mph. Lower axle ratio from January 1938 with an improved cylinder head from April 1938. 1939 models have pistol grip handbrakes and piston type dampers.

Introduced in May 1932 with a three bearing 21bhp engine on a compact 93 inch wheel base. Four speed gearbox and mechanical pump feed. Originally only available as a Saloon, joined in 1933 by by a Tourer and Cabriolet. Plated hub caps from 1933, syncromesh and X-braced frames and 12 volt electrics from 1934. 1933 saw the saloons joined by an open two-seater or Open Road tourer, a Colwyn cabriolet and a van. A sports model, the 65 miles per hour (105 km/h), 30 brake horsepower (22 kW) Ripley joined the range in 1934.

The engine controls were simplified by the adoption of automatic ignition, compensated voltage control, and the provision of a "choke" (combined strangler and throttle control). The saloon was given the name Lichfield and got a protruding boot which enclosed the spare wheel. During 1935 the friction dampers were replaced with hydraulic dampers A big change came in December 1936, with the almost streamlined Cambridge saloon and Conway cabriolet. Compared with the preceding cars the passengers and engine were positioned much further forward, the back seat now being rather forward of the back axle. There were six side windows like the Sherborne and the quarter lights were fixed Austins sales slogan of the time - You buy a car, but you invest in an Austin Although the Austin 10 was to continue until 1947 the 1937 model year saw the introduction of new bodies so effectively a second generation car. The Ten was again updated in 1940 as a virtually new model with another new body and a semi-unitary structure.

246 Austin Ten Cambridge (1938) CWU 861 by Robert Knight Via Flickr: Austin Ten Cambridge (1937-39) Engine 1141cc S4 SV Production 73,632 Livery Royal Air Force 1186222 Registration Number CWU 861 (West Riding of Yorkshire) AUSTIN SET www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/sets/72157623759808208... The Austin Ten is a small car, introduced in April 1932, and was Austin's best-selling car in the 1930s and continued in production, with upgrades, until 1947. It slotted into the Austin range between the bay Seven and the various Austin Twelves. The design of the car was conservative with a pressed steel body built on a ladder chassis.

Synchromesh was added to second gear and dual wind screen wipers. The saloon was given the name Lichfield and got a protruding boot which enclosed the spare wheel. A major facelift announced in December 1936, with a new more streamlined body, the Saloons were now titled as Cambridge and the Cabriolet as the Conway. The engine was moved further forward and the rear seat was now positioned ahead of the rear axle. The cabin now had six windows with fixed quarter lights, the front doors abandoned the earlier suicide door style and opened rearwards and the boot space was enlarged. Mechanically cars benefitted from a redesigned smoother clutch, Girling with larger shoes and drums. 16-inch steel disc wheels replaced the 18-inch wires. In 1938 the Cambridge gained an aluminium cylinder head and higher compression ratio raising the claimed top speed rose to a claimed 60mph. Despite the outbreak of World War II, production of the Ten continued in large numbers (54,000 during the war years) and were used extensively in Saloon and Utility (Tillies) form by both the Army and RAF CWU 861 Appears here as it would have looked in RAF livery, note the chunky tires and has light beam deflectors to make the car less conspicuous to enemy aircraft, though severely restricting night time driving visibility, for that reason the car has spot light for occasional use Diolch am 95,448,609 o olygfeydd anhygoel, mae pob un yn cael ei werthfawrogi'n fawr.
