114 year old Edwardian era Austin tourer, older restoration with extensive Australian club and show history throughout the 70's & 80's.
KEY FACTS
Representing the pioneering years of British motoring, this 1912 Austin 10/12hp Two-Seat Tourer is a charming example of Edwardian automotive engineering and craftsmanship. Established by Herbert Austin in 1905 at Longbridge, Birmingham, the Austin Motor Company quickly developed a reputation for producing well engineered and dependable motor cars. Unlike many manufacturers of the period, Austin maintained extensive in house coachbuilding facilities, offering a diverse range of body styles. First introduced in 1910 as a 1.2-litre four-cylinder model intended exclusively for export, the smaller 10hp Austin became available to British buyers in 1911, before receiving an enlarged 1.6-litre engine for 1912. Featuring open two seat coachwork and the distinctive proportions of the Edwardian era, this example represents an interesting period in Austin's early development, when the company was establishing itself as one of Britain's leading motor manufacturers. More than a century after its construction, this rare veteran Austin offers collectors an appealing opportunity to experience the character and simplicity of early British motoring.
