Though rated for tax at 14.3 horsepower this larger engined model is sometimes referred to as the Austin 10/12. In 1913, the 10 hp was the cheapest model in the Austin range, costing £260 for a chassis with tyres. [8] The 10 hp (of 14.32-h.p.) was renamed 12–14 hp before midsummer 1915 [9] but production was limited due to the war.
The 1.6 L (1,622 cc) B series also formed the basis of the "Blue Streak" engine developed by BMC Australia for use in the locally-built Austin Freeway and Wolseley 24/80 models, both in turn variants of the existing Austin A60 Cambridge. The "Blue Streak" was an inline-6 development of the B series, adding two extra cylinders to create a 2.4 L ...
The series began with a 495 cc iteration for the 1930 Datson Type 10 and ended with the 860 cc Type 10 engine which was built until 1964 for light commercial vehicles. Later versions were called the B-1 , before being replaced in 1957 by the OHV Nissan C engine that was essentially a de-stroked version of another Austin design this time the BMC ...

The Austin Ten is a small car that was produced by Austin. It was launched on 19 April 1932 [1] and was Austin's best-selling car in the 1930s and continued in production, with upgrades, until 1947. It fitted in between their "baby" Austin Seven which had been introduced in 1922 and their various Austin Twelves which had been updated in January ...
There were also four-cylinder engines based on the D-Series six cylinder engine in various capacities using common parts from 2199-2660cc petrol to 2178-2520cc diesel known initially as the 2.2-litre Austin BS1 OHV. They powered cars such as the Austin 16 hp, A70 Hampshire and Hereford, A90 Atlantic, the Austin-Healey 100-4 and the Austin Gipsy ...
Apart from the name, it shared nothing with the pre war Austin 16. Whilst it used a brand new 4-cylinder 2199 cc, overhead-valve engine—the first to be used in an Austin car, it in fact used the chassis and body of the pre-war Austin 12 , which continued to be produced, alongside the other pre-war saloons the 8 hp and the 10 hp.
An overhead valve engine, abbreviated (OHV) and sometimes called a pushrod engine, is a piston engine whose valves are located in the cylinder head above the combustion chamber. This contrasts with flathead (or "sidevalve") engines , where the valves were located below the combustion chamber in the engine block .
